[Qgis-user] Re: Install QGIS server on Ubuntu

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Anita

In the GetCapabilities response, a WMS server gives back the urls for 
GetMap and GetFeatureInfo (they could be different to the url used for 
GetCapabilities). However, in most cases, the base url is the same as 
for GetCapabilities. Even worse, in most cases, the advertised urls for 
GetMap and GetFeatureInfo are wrong. QGIS server generates those urls 
from the cgi environment variables, other servers rely on admin 
configuration.

In most cases, it is appropriate to select the two options (we should 
probably select them by default).

Regards,
Marco
