[Qgis-user] Problems loading/accessing QGIS Server.... what am I missing?

[Peter Len]

So, this was fixed by copying all of the .dll libraries from c:/OSGeo4W/bin to c:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/bin.  Not sure why none of the references I used indicated this, so I am not fully comfortable that it is truly working.  I have been able to load a QGIS Desktop project served up by QGIS Server to both ArcMap and QGIS so at least that is a start.

When I ran the install, I did an advanced installation and selected to install the Apache Webserver and the QGIS Server.  The instructions went on to say that for Windows installs you must change FastCGI to just the CGI in the httpd_qgis.conf file. So now the httpd_qgis.conf references:
>
>LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
>SetHandler cgi-script

>After another change in that conf file to change DefaultInitEnv to SetEnv (using DefaultInitEnv threw errors).  After that, I was able to start the Apache web server and was able go to the default page.  I noticed that the page indicated that there was only 1 osgeo4w application installed (phpinfo).

>When I ran this in the browser, it indicated that there was an error.  The error log file stated:
>
>Premature end of script headers: qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe

>This made me think that there was some mismatch between changing the conf file to use "cgi" rather than "fcgi".  There is no qgis_mapserv.cgi.exe, however.  Not sure what I am missing here.  Both sets of instructions were followed and they both indicate it should be working.  Does anyone know what I may be missing?
