<div dir="ltr">Hi Henrik,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is due to the new authentication system in 2.12 [0], and the support I added to Server. When running Server, projects loaded that contain an authentication configuration (instead of clear text username/password) for accessing a secured resource, e.g.
WMS using Basic Auth and HTTPS, need to be able to access the new 'qgis-auth.db'.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The auth configurations are encrypted using a master password and stored in the qgis-auth.db, which by default is located at ~/.qgis2/qgis-auth.db for a desktop QGIS user. To enable Server support, I added two environment variables to overcome the problems
associated with automatically loading projects [1], which are not yet fully documented:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
* QGIS_AUTH_DB_DIR_PATH - Directory where an existing qgis-auth.db is located or created if not present. This directory needs to be *writeable* by Server's FCGI process user (which may differ from Apache's).
<div><br>
* QGIS_AUTH_PASSWORD_FILE - File path to file with master password as first line. This is similar to password files used by database servers. The env variable is read during QGIS startup, then removed from the env variables space, so it is not available later
on to the FCGI process or any Server plugins. Since all auth configurations are encrypted, a master password is required to access the qgis-auth.db, if a loaded project uses auth configs stored in the qgis-auth.db.</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What you have found is possibly a bug: the QGIS_AUTH_DB_DIR_PATH is now required to start Server, even if no loaded project make use of the new auth system. This is not really a bug if one considers the auth system setup mandatory from 2.12+, like it is
on Desktop. At the minimum, a missing/non-writeable qgis-auth.db directory should throw a warning and not an error, allowing Server to launch.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please try setting QGIS_AUTH_DB_DIR_PATH to a directory writeable by the Server's FCGI process user and see if Server starts normally. Then check that qgis-auth.db is created in the directory.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is how to set the env variables for the FCGI process in Apache [2,3]. Note, setting them at the Apache process level will not work.</div>

It seems to be caused by some file somewhere having wrong permissions. This error is from my Apache log:<br>
ERROR: Auth db directory path could not be created<br>

Googling the phrase I found this:<br>

Where is this db directory path supposed to be created?<br>

Hi Henrik,<br>
<br>
Any errors in the Apache log files? Or QGIS server log file?<br>
<br>
Did you specify the map parameter or use an according Apache rewrite rule?<br>
<br>
Is there an X-Server running?<br>
<br>
