[Qgis-developer] URL Rewriting and qgis-web-client

[Emilio Loi]

Ok, now I have one rule for wms

RewriteRule ^wms/([^/]+)$
> /cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=/path-to-projects/$1.qgs [QSA,PT,L]

(it works, you can see it in action here
http://vega.faunalia.it/wms/candela?REQUEST=GetCapabilities)

one to have a short url with the project name

RewriteRule ^maps/([^./]+)/?$
> /path-to-qgiswc/qgiswebclient.html?map=/path-to-projects/$1.qgs [PT,L]


and one for html/js/css

RewriteRule ^maps/(.*) /path-to-qgiswc/$1 [PT]


running the webapp with an example project I get an error about some
not-well-specified missing parameters (i think the only one is missing is
the project full path)
you can try here:

http://vega.faunalia.it/maps/candela


Do you think my rewrite engine configuration is right or not?
Goodnight,
