[Qgis-user] Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4

[Mike Flannigan]

Thanks for saying this.  I want to move to the QGIS server
format one day, but will hold off a bit longer.  The QGIS
people have made amazing progress.  It really is a great
product.  But maybe their growth has outstripped their resources
in a few areas.
