[Qgis-user] OSGeo4W's QGIS Web Server install problem. “Not Found ... qgis_mapserv.fcgi”

Sat May 9 01:20:37 PDT 2015

Hi alla!
I have also spent far too much time trying to find a working combination of
postgis/qgis/qgis server.
I confess I haven't yet tried all possible permutations, but have more or
less given up.
Why do we have to put up with thsi sorry state of things?

Will somebody with a working installation on a Windows 2012 64 bit server
please step forward and tell us how to do it.

Regards, Mats.E
