[Qgis-user] QGIS server: configuration of grid shift files for datum conversions

On the same topic: there are two different versions of the Swiss datum
grid shift files: 

chenyx06etrs.gsb and chenyx06a.gsb 

Seems like the first translates between european datum ETRS89 and CH1903
(the old system?) and the second translates between old and new version
of the SWISS coordinate system (CH1903 and CH1903+ - I assume EPSG:21781
and EPSG:2056). 

I assume I have to configure both for QGIS server? 

Does QGIS server use the same defintion that already exists in file
/usr/local/share/proj/CH ? 

Thanks, 

Andreas

I assume that I need to copy an additional config file or SRS/grid shift file combinations to QGIS server and/or specify an environment variable - right?
