[Lizmap] Lizmap installation (Debian/Apache) : web configuration section

Tue Apr 25 02:57:03 PDT 2023

Good morning,
Thanks very much for your reply.
As you noticed, by reading/applying the lizmap doc too quickly, I had
installed Nginx whereas I already had apache installed. To avoid any risk
of conflict, I therefore uninstalled Nginx. Although that was not the
source of my problem.
I deleted the lizmap.conf file that I generated yesterday under
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled. Now I can restart apache without any problem. I
no longer have the error message. This lizmap.conf file was indeed the
source of the problem.
I confirm that Apache is running on my Debian virtual server. As well as
Qgis server. FYI, lib apache2-mod-fcgi is installed. Example URL used for
my qgis server tests:
http://XXXX.XXXX.fr/cgi-bin/qgis_mapser … MAP=......

I had  already created a host for qgis server. The virtual machine is NOT
local. There is a domain name XXXX.XXXX.fr If I understand correctly, it is
useless for me to create a host for lizmap ? And I can consider the web
config section finalized? FYI, under apache2/sites-enabled, I have a
XXXX.XXXX.fr.conf file and 1 default-ssl.conf file and 1
default-ssl.conf-out file.

My spatial data are stored in a Postgis database hosted on another
server/virtual machine. If I understand correctly, lizmap also uses a
postgis db to store its own data. So In addition to the PostgreSQL server
which currently hosts my postgis data, will I have to create a database on
this same postgresql server dedicated to storing data used by Lizmap?

In addition to this part config / support (for BDDs stored on another
server / MV), I have to have create the directories for the data, then
install the sources of lizmap web client? Then I could in theory configure
lizmap / launch the installer and make some tests? Well, I'll try to move
forward... Thanks.
