[Qgis-developer] path to the qgs file for qgis-server

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Andrea

It is also possible to call QGIS server without map parameter and to 
place the .qgs file into the same directory as the qgis_mapserv.fcgi 
executable.

In practice, a better solution is to use Apache URL rewriting 
(mod_rewrite) to hide the location of the .qgs file from the client. 
Like this, you can use nice URLs and if the locations of the .qgs files 
change, the server administrator adapts the config accordingly.

Regards,
Marco
