[QGIS-Developer] Installation Problem on Ubuntu Linux

[Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup)]

Hi Kim,

you posted this two weeks ago already and Andrea Giudiceandrea answered 
to you with

The only new information you added now is

- no difference.

Have you actually tried to load the WMS server you created as a WMS 
server in QGIS? A web browser does not know WMS, it just sees the 
messages used by WMS (in XML) and does not know anything special (or 
spatial) about it. To use a WMS you need a client capable of "speaking" 
WMS, such as QGIS.

Please be aware that this is the developers mailing list, user questions 
might be more suitable for qgis-user. :)

Cheers, Hannes
