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

[Andreas Neumann]

Marcel,

Do you mean the layers don't appear in QGIS or in QGIS web client? This
is an important distinction.

The first means that QGIS server is not installed and configured
correctly, the other means that QGIS server is running ok and you have a
web client configuration problem.

I know - the getting started it is a bit hard, esp. if you are on OSX or
Windows where there are fewer users. Most existing users install and run
QGIS server on Linux.
