[Qgis-user] Problems with QGIS Maperver on Unbuntu 12.04 Server

[Simon Coffey]

I installed QGIS mapserver on an ubuntu 12.04 server I have in order to look at trying geomoose.  However I can't get mapserver to work in the first place.  I installed it from the ubuntugis-unstable ppa.

When I go to http://192.168.10.10/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities I get a 500 server error.

Delving into the apache error log I get the following entries which point to a problem with mod_fcgid.

[Fri Aug 24 22:33:36 2012] [warn] [client 192.168.10.6] mod_fcgid: error reading data, FastCGI server closed connection

Has anyone got mapserver running on Ubuntu Precise?  Or have any idea how I go about trying to sort this problem?

Thanks,

Simon.
