-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  astrid_emde  |      Owner:  osgeolive@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  OSGeoLive14.0
Component:  OSGeoLive    |   Keywords:  QGIS
-------------------------+---------------------------
 With QGIS (Desktop or Server), the location of the demo files is in
 /home/user/qgis-examples which will only work is your user is called
 "user".

 As a consequence, there is an error with the provided QGIS Server project
 at http://localhost/qgis_server/ (no map display).

 The files in /home/<my_user>/qgis-examples belong to root and cannot be
 edited without a "sudo chown".
 When trying to save a QGIS project in /home/<my_user>/qgis-examples, there
 is an error "unable to execute the zip file" even after correcting the
 user
 permissions on the folder and the files.

 The link provided in
 http://localhost/osgeolive/en/quickstart/qgis_mapserver_quickstart.html to
 open the WMS URL (
 http://localhost/cgi-
 bin/qgis_mapserv?map=/home/user/world.qgz&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-91.901820,-180.000000,83.633800,180.000000&CRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=722&HEIGHT=352&LAYERS=ne_10m_admin_0_countries&STYLES=default&FORMAT=image/png&DPI=96&TRANSPARENT=true
 ) provides a server exception in response even if /home/user is replace by
 the correct /home/<my_user>.
