Hi,
The developers (and most users) of QGIS server and web client are on
Linux - that's the most commen server platform these days - at least in
Open Source GIS. Windows users are welcome to contribute to the Windows
aspects of the documentation. Please don't only consume, but also
contribute.
Regarding ".exe": QGIS web client normally uses only the .fcgi
extension. If you would want to use .exe instead you would have to
change line 13 in site/js/GlobalOptions.js to point to the correct path.
Also note: even on Linux there may be stumble blocks to set up QGIS
server and web client. There are simply a lot of different combinations
of operating systems and Linux distributions and each one has some
different ideas how to set up a web server environment (e.g. where the
Apache conf files are located). And then the next version of the OS may
decide to change things again.
One good idea when setting up QGIS Server and web client is to go step
by step.
1. install Apache and make sure it can serve static web pages
2. install the fcgi module and make sure it can execute cgi programs in
fcgi mode
3. then configure QGIS server and use QGIS Desktop as a WMS client
4. then configure QGIS web client (mainly you have to change
site/js/GlobalOptions.js - if things fail, use the dev tools in Firefox
or Chrome to see what URLs are generated and requested.
Hope this helps,
Andreas
