[Qgis-user] Base directory for images for QGIS-server

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Tom,

Do you mean images embedded in a print composer? If yes, just copy them 
along with the project file. This should work. Place them relative to 
the .qgs file (e.g. in the same folder as the .qgs or with an additional 
folder hierarchy).

Just make sure that the relative paths are the same on the machine where 
you author the project and on the server.

That works fine for me.

If you mean the SVG files for map symbols in the symbology - I just copy 
those files to the default folder where the server is looking for the 
SVG files anyway.
