[Qgis-user] QGIS3 Server on Windows Server and IIS

[Mats Elfström]

Hi All!

I have once again made a futile attempt to establish a QGIS Server on a
Windows Server. This time with a twist, I want to use IIS instead of Apache
as web server. These two posts seem to indicate that this is possible.

https://domasin.github.io/valgrande/qgisserveriis.html

https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/Installing-Mapserver-under-IIS-7.n-with-FastCGI

I also second this Stackexchange question which so far is unresponded to.
https://gis.stackexchange.com/q/315932

These are my assumptions:

·         I believe that QGIS 3 Server can run on a Windows Server machine
(2012 is my current option)

·         I believe that IIS can be the web server for QGIS server.

·         I believe that a stable process for this installation can be
proven and documented.

However, available descriptions do not work. In many cases, they describe
specific paths and files which may differ from case to case, and thus
create errors. It would be better if someone who really knows could
describe what needs to be done in general terms, rather than “copy these
files from here to there”.

I will once again extend an offer to provide a solution to this situation.

1.       I will, at my own cost, provide full access to a vanilla Windows
2012 Server to perform and fully document a complete QGIS3 LTR desktop and
server installation and configuration, using IIS as web server. Configuring
IIS will be part of this.

2.       The offer is open to any individual who can indicate relevant
experience, and for a reasonable amount of time. The documentation will of
course be tested and released as open source and hopefully also be part of
the QGIS3 documentation.

3.       My contribution will be the cost for the machine and time for
testing. The applicant will provide his/her time and knowledge.

Applicants please respond to this thread, as I want the effort to be as
open as possible.

Regards, Mats.E
