[Qgis-developer] Installed Qgis on Ubuntu - what do I do next?

[Christopher Stark]

Hi Marco,

thanks for this. I downloaded the qgis-web-client.

I get this output:

http://localhost/qgis-web-client/index.xml

QGIS WebclientQGIS ServerOSGEO LiveNatural Earth
WMS Get Capabilities
Responsible: OSGEO Live maintainers

When I click on the links "natural earth" or wms get capabilities" there
comes an error page "not found".

Can you tell me how I display my qgis project file with this web-client?
I didn't understand their documentation.


best regards
Christopher
