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

Wed Apr 26 02:23:04 PDT 2023

Hi all,
I'm taking the liberty to reply to my previous message.
Following to my previous post, For information, I limited myself to read
the page https://docs.lizmap.com/3.6/fr/install/linux.html
I did not look at the page
https://docs.lizmap.com/3.6/fr/install/configuration.html and
https://docs.lizmap.com/3.6/fr/install/advanced_install.html
I confirm that the URL http://XXXX.XXXX.fr/cgi-bin/qgis_mapser… MAP=
does NOT return any error.
I therefore did not define a host for lizmap since I had already done one
for qgis server.
I created folders for the data.
I created a postgis database on a posgresql server hosted on another
server. I have created the profiles.ini.php files
I edited the file like this:

*    [jdb:jauth]    driver=pgsql    host=IP of the server    port=5432
database="XXXXXX"    user=XXXXX    password=XXXXXX    search_path=public
sslmode=disable        [jdb:lizlog]    driver=pgsql    host=IP of the
server    port=5432    database="XXXXXX"    user=XXXXXX    password=XXXXXX
  search_path=public    sslmode=disable*

I have successfully installed the lizmap web client sources.

the url http://XXX.XXX.fr/lizmap/index.php/view/app/metadata
returns me

*Not FoundThe requested URL was not found on this server.Apache/2.4.54
(Debian) Server at xxxxx-xxxx.xxxx.fr <http://xxxxx-xxxx.xxxx.fr> Port 80*

the URL http://XXXX.XXXX.fr/lizmap/

returns

*    <?php    /**    * @lizmap package    * @subpackage lizmap    * @author
3liz    * @copyright 2011 3liz    * @link http://3liz.com

require('../application.init.php');    require
(JELIX_LIB_CORE_PATH.'request/jClassicRequest.class.php');
checkAppOpened();    // Load the configuration
jApp::loadConfig('index/config.ini.php');    // new coordinator, which we
indicate to jApp    jApp::setCoord(new jCoordinator());    // New request
object, which we pass to the coordinator, to process the routing.
jApp::coord()->process(new jClassicRequest());*

Weird... it returns the PHP code and it must be missing the end of the code
(it starts with <?php but it should end with ?>)
maybe there is a config to do in Apache to tell it to run the PHP code
instead of returning it in text format...?
In the lizmapCOnfig.ini.php file, I only replaced the default IP 127.0.0.1
with the name of our server at the line wmsServerURL="
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserver.fcgi"

When I ran php configurator.php I got NO error message.
When I ran php installer.php:

*    Installation is starting    All modules dependencies are ok
Installation starts    Module jelix installed    [error] An error occured
during the installation of the module jcommunity: error during the
connection XXXXIP of the server host postgresql        Installation is
finished*

I have successfully installed the demo. But these URLs return me a Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.54 (Debian) Server at XXXXXX.XXXXXX.fr Port 80:

http://XXXX.XXX.fr/lizmap/index.php/lizmap/service/?repository=montpellier&project=montpellier&VERSION=1.3.0&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

http://XXXX.XXXX.fr/lizmap/index.php/lizmap/service/?repository=montpellier&project=montpellier&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

Thanks again for your really usefull help.
