[Qgis-developer] Installed Qgis on Ubuntu - what do I do next?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Christopher

This error message shows that it works (you just did not make a valid WMS 
request). To publish your project, you need to give the file path to the .qgs 
project in the url and the wms request parameters.

http://localhost/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=/home/me/myproject.qgs&

is the WMS url

http://localhost/cgi-
bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=/home/me/myproject.qgs&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

should return an xml document with the available layer, styles, crs, etc.

Regards,
Marco
