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

Tue Jul 9 10:21:49 PDT 2013

Sorry, I don't get it. 

I can connect form QGIS Desktop as a WMS-Client to QGIS Server, but the Layers don't appear.

Does somebody know a step by step instruction how to configure a simple example on OSX?

Thanks and regards,
Marcel
