[Qgis-developer] QgisMapserver - need to restart Apache on every project file change ?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Giovanni

QGIS server uses the QFileSystemWatcher class ( 
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qfilesystemwatcher.html) to check if a configuration 
file has changed. So in newer versions, changes to the published project files 
should be picked up without restarting apache.

Regards,
Marco
