[Qgis-user] where to install qgis-web-client on Mac OSX 10.8.4

[Marcel Stadelmann]

Where can I see the path to QGIS WMS Server directory? I don't know where to save the *.qgs files, so that the QGIS server can find it. 

Thanks and regards,
Marcel

I tried with http://localhost/Users/Marcello/Downloads/test/alaska.qgs but its not working. The message was:
