[Qgis-user] QGIS Server on Mac OS X

Fri Jun 27 02:51:32 PDT 2014

Hi all,

I’m trying to install QGIS Server on Mac OS X Mavericks. Unfortunately, I’m stuck. Hope, somebody has a good hint for me.

This is what I have done so far:

INSTALLATION

1) I followed this documentation: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/QGIS_Server_Tutorial. Unfortunately, it’s based on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, but adaptions are very obvious.

2) I’ve started on a clean installation of Mavericks (Virtual Machine), with Xcode and Xcode Command Line tools installed, as required.

3) I’ve installed QGIS 2.2 and all required plug-ins. Works fine.

4) I’ve worked around the Xcode bug via sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.9.xctoolchain

5) I’ve installed mod_fastcgi. The tutorial recommends using Apple’s version of mod_fastcgi, but since I wasn’t able to install it, and since it’s an old version, I’ve chosen Homebrew’s version (Terminal: brew install homebrew/apache/mod_fastcgi), and activated it in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

6) I’ve created the file /etc/apache2/other/qgis-mapserver.conf, as described.

7) I’ve restarted Apache, and tested it successfully: http://localhost returns “It works!"

!! 8) Ive tried to test QGIS Server with: http://localhost/qgis-mapserv/qgis_mapserv.fcgi? Here is where trouble begins. According to the documentation, the returned message should be "Configuration file problem”, but instead, it says "Please check the value of the REQUEST parameter”. Couldn’t find a solution for that, and because error log doesn’t show an error, I suppose everything still works fine.

PUBLISHING MY FIRST PROJECT

As far as I understand, projects have to be located inside /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/fcgi-bin/: One project folder for every QGIS project.

9) I’ve created a project folder /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/fcgi-bin/my_map_project.

10) I’ve created a very simple QGIS project called cantons.qgs, taking canton boundaries from a PostGIS database.

11) I’ve copied it to /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/fcgi-bin/my_map_project.

12) I’ve copied Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/fcgi-bin to /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/fcgi-bin/my_map_project.

!!!! 13) I tried to start my application with URLs
- http://localhost/qgis-mapserv/my_map_project/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?
- http://localhost/qgis-mapserv/my_map_project/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

No success. After some time, my web browser returns:

—
Internal Server Error 

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. 

Please contact the server administrator, you at example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. 

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

And Apache’s error log shows:

This is it. Any ideas?
