[Qgis-developer] Relative paths in mapserver

[Marco Lechner - FOSSGIS e.V.]

Hi Paolo,

you can even set a bunch of environment variables e.g.

export SHAPE_ENCODING=""
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/apps/qgis-master/lib
exec /home/user/apps/qgis-master/bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi

for testing a freshly compiled master

One question I'm not sure about is if wrapping the fcgi through a shell
script decreases performance (by bypassing fcgi advantages).
May be @Marco_Hugentobler (who knows more about fcgi and performance)
can say word on this.

Marco
