[Qgis-user] qgis-mapserver on Windows ignore my postgis andshapefile layers

[Oliver Christen]

Hello Jürgen
Thank you for your answer

I presume the dll needed are the ones available in the apps\qgis\plugins 
folder in the Qgis installation (postgresprovider.dll and ogrprovider.dll)

I tried to add that folder to my PATH environement variable but it didnt 
change anything.

I also ran qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe into Dependency Walker to see if there was 
some dll not found, but I dont see anything wrong beside the fact none of 
the dll in the plugins folder are even wanted at all.
the only qgis dll loaded are:
QGIS_CORE.dll and QGIS_ANALYSIS.dll,
there are also a bunch of osgeo dll loaded from C:\OSGeo4W\bin (I wont list 
them here)

maybe the dll are dynamically loaded when the correct parameter are passed 
to the cgi?
sadly I didnt found any way to simulate the passing of the 
SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities query string when accessing the 
qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe directly in commandline.

I tried to copy all the dll from apps\qgis\plugins into the C:\OSGeo4W\bin 
folder, and restart apache, it didnt solve the problem either.

Did anyone succeded to make qgis-mapserver work correctly on windows ?

regards
Oliver
