<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Andreas,<br>
<br>
you are right, everybody who is using QGIS should feel a little
bit committed to give sth. back to the community, so do I and
that´s why I listed all steps I did to successfully run the QGIS
Webclient under Windows 7 below. <br>
I think you are more into the QGIS WebClient issue than I am, so
maybe you (or any other from the list) can take the 14 steps,
complete and/or revise them and publish it at a more prominent
place (?) <br>
<br>
<u><b>Successful QG</b><b>IS Server and QGIS WebClient Installation
on Windos 7 as per 22.03.2014</b></u><br>
<br>
That´s what I did in March 2014 to make it run on my Win 7 Prof
64bit system, using QGIS 2: <br>
<br>
1. Install QGIS Server and Apache from OSGEO4W by using the WebGIS
-Schnellinstallation (WebGIS-Fast-Installation) option, this will
install Apache and QGIS Server with an almost complete setting and
configuration.<br>
<br>
2. If you whish you can have a look at Underdarks guidelines at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://anitagraser.com/2012/04/06/qgis-server-on-windows7-step-by-step/">http://anitagraser.com/2012/04/06/qgis-server-on-windows7-step-by-step/</a>,
but I think some steps have become obsolete with the WebGIS Fast
Installation from OSGEO4W.<br>
<br>
3. Delete (!) the .exe extension of
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin\qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe (new:
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin\qgis_mapserv.fcgi). <br>
This is needed because the QGIS WebClient which you will install
later, can NOT address *.exe files, although the QGIS Server could
.... <br>
<br>
4. Test if the QGIS Server is working with a simple Map Request in
your browser e.g.: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&SRS=EPSG:31467&REQUEST=GetMap&map=C:/path-to-a-simple-qgis-project.qgs&WIDTH=1000&HEIGHT=800&LAYERS=weg,bach&FORMAT=image/png">http://localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&SRS=EPSG:31467&REQUEST=GetMap&map=C:/path-to-a-simple-qgis-project.qgs&WIDTH=1000&HEIGHT=800&LAYERS=weg,bach&FORMAT=image/png</a>
<br>
<br>
5. If you get the map on the browser - or just an XML formatted
information in case you just requested the GetCapabilities - then
you successfully installed the QGIS Server and you can go on with
downloading the QGIS WebClient ZIPFILE from GIT-Hub:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Web-Client">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Web-Client</a><br>
<br>
6. Unzip it to C:\OSGeo4W\apache\htdocs<br>
<br>
7. The default setting in
C:\OSGeo4W\apache\htdocs\QGIS-Web-Client-master\site\js\GlobalOtions.js
<br>
is correctly addressing the QGIS Mapserver File (without *exe
extension, that you deleted before!): <br>
It is using the variable /cgi-bin/, so it is: <br>
var serverAndCGI = "/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi"; <br>
but physically the *.fcgi file is at C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin
(forget about
C:\OSGeo4W\apache\htdocs\QGIS-Web-Client-master\cgi-bin\qgis_mapserv.fcgi,
I think this works only for LInux users to make a certain demo map
run ...(?))<br>
<br>
8. Change the default value in C:\OSGeo4W\apache\conf\httpd.conf
file, at line 330 (approximately):<br>
from <br>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:\OSGeo4W/bin/"<br>
to<br>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:\OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/bin/"<br>
<br>
9. Restart Apache every time you make changes to Apaches conf
files<br>
<br>
10. Start the default page of the QGIS Web Client at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost/QGIS-Web-Client-master/site/">http://localhost/QGIS-Web-Client-master/site/</a><br>
<br>
11. Check that the links to the *.qgs files in <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost/QGIS-Web-Client-master/site/index.html">http://localhost/QGIS-Web-Client-master/site/index.html</a><br>
are correct (maybe the best is to start with entering an absolute
path for the *.qgs files, e.g. <a
href="qgiswebclient.html?map=C:/OSGeo4W/apache/htdocs/QGIS-Web-Client-master/projects/helloworld.qgs"><br>
<br>
12. Clicking on that link above will open the QGIS Web Client
Interface and load the demo map "hello world"<br>
<br>
13. To make the "Search Function" and the "Map Theme" running,
some more configuration is needed at the moment (that´s what I
still have to do), so .... <br>
<br>
14. ... if problems arise, please check: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/feeds/tag/qgis-web-client">http://gis.stackexchange.com/feeds/tag/qgis-web-client</a> where you
find new FAQ dealing with the QGIS WebClient.<br>
<br>
Have fun!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I am just very briefly following this thread. It would be great if the
Windows users of QGIS server and web client could complete the
documentation.
There are many more Windows users running into problems with the
configuration of QGIS server and web client than Linux users.
Eventually, people are getting there but then don't take the time to
correct/complete a proper documentation. This is a community-driven
project - so everybody has some reponsibility ...
Thanks and good luck with the configuration,
Andreas

that´s the point ... *my QGIS Server is running*, please test following

In your link, you missed the *.exe extension in qgis_mapserv.fcgi ....
but when running it in QWC the *.qgi is not loading, test following:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://landconsult.no-ip.com/QGIS-Web-Client-master/site/qgiswebclient.html?map=C:/OSGeo4W/apache/htdocs/QGIS-Web-Client-master/projects/wms_demo.qgs">http://landconsult.no-ip.com/QGIS-Web-Client-master/site/qgiswebclient.html?map=C:/OSGeo4W/apache/htdocs/QGIS-Web-Client-master/projects/wms_demo.qgs</a>

<pre wrap="">
I missed the .exe because it is not called by QWC!
As I wrote: use firebfox with firebug and you'll see that QWC fails as
follows:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://landconsult.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=C:/OSGeo4W/apache/htdocs/QGIS-Web-Client-master/projects/wms_demo.qgs&&_dc=1395042577212&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3&REQUEST=GetProjectSettings">http://landconsult.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=C:/OSGeo4W/apache/htdocs/QGIS-Web-Client-master/projects/wms_demo.qgs&&_dc=1395042577212&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3&REQUEST=GetProjectSettings</a>"
So you misconfigured the path to your fcgi. In GlobalOptions.js line 13
reads:
var serverAndCGI = "/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi";

<pre wrap="">OK, now I can access it. Use firebug in firefox to see what happens.
If you do that you will realize that the error is that
cgi-bin/qgis_mapsserv.fcgi is not accessible.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://landconsult.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=../projects/helloworld.qgs&&_dc=1394795203156&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3&REQUEST=GetProjectSettings">http://landconsult.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=../projects/helloworld.qgs&&_dc=1394795203156&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3&REQUEST=GetProjectSettings</a>
so first thing to do is to get your QGIS server running.
GetProjectSettings or GetCapabilities must return something sensible.
You can check this in your browser (or QGIS desktop). As soon as a
GetMap request is successful (check this e.g. in QGIS desktop) you can
start configuring QWC.
