<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Kuan Song<br>
<br>
This seems to be a problem with your apache fcgi setup. Apache
cannot find your cgi directory.<br>
<br>
Btw. the easiest method to use QGIS server is Sourcepole QGIS
cloud (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.qgiscloud.com">www.qgiscloud.com</a>). No need to run your own database and
apache webserver with this option.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Marco <br>
