[QGIS-Developer] QGIS server landing page when running as fastcgi?

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi Richard,

I've put up an example with Apache here:
https://github.com/elpaso/qgis-server-docker

Landing page works out of the box and there is a sample project too.

I'm also having problems seeing the logs from QGIS into the apache
logs though but I cannot spend more time on that now, I don't know at
this point if it's a QGIS issue (not writing to "FCGI_stderr" instead
of "cerr") or if it is mod_fcgid or anything else.

We have mostly switched everything to nginx now and I can't remember
seeing the issue there.

Maybe other server devs know more about logging under apache/FCGI?

Cheers
