[Qgis-user] QGIS Server installation on Windows via XAMPP

[Franko Naimarevic]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup QGIS Server on my computer (Windows10) to experiment 
with how it works.
I managed to get it running locally using XAMPP, following the official 
guide 
(https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/server/getting_started.html#installation-on-windows).

I clicked
http://localhost/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0REQUEST=GetCapabilities
as the guide suggests, and got "Layer(s) not valid", but I figured that 
the server was working, since I wasn't getting a "not found" error of 
some sorts.

I then wanted to load my own map, but the guide doesn't really explain 
how to do it. After searching around on the internet, I tried:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe?MAP=/OSGeo4W64/apps/qgis/bin/MAPNAME.qgs

but got a "Project file error".

What am I missing?


Thanks for your help!
