After I delete the /Library/WebServer/Documents/alaska.qgs file, still 1 layer was showing up while adding a WMS-Layer. It means the behaviour of the WMS-Connection is the same with or without the project file alaska.qgs. So, it's probably not a CRS issue. It seems that the QGIS Server doesn't see the alaska project file at all. </div><div><br></div><div>I connect to the localhost with the url <a href="http://localhost/qgis-mapserv/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?">http://localhost/qgis-mapserv/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?</a> -> Is this correct?</div><div><br></div><div>In the QGIS user manual (Chapter QGIS Server) it says that a copy of <span style="color: rgb(13, 29, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> </span><tt class="file docutils literal" style="color: rgb(13, 29, 0); font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="pre">qgis_mapserv.fcgi</span></tt> is needed for Linux.
