[Qgis-user] Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4

[Richard Greenwood]

I don't think that it's fair to suggest that QGIS Server isn't ready for
prime time based on one user's difficulty with getting it set up. I am
relatively new to QGIS and QGIS Server but I found the setup pretty
straight forward and familiar, probably because I have used CGI, FastCGI
and MapServer <https://mapserver.org/> a lot. If the tables were turned and
I had to set up GeoServer on TomCat I'm sure that I would have a lot of
difficulty, but that wouldn't mean that GeoServer was flawed. I've set up
PHP on a lot of servers but when I have to do it on Windows IIS I need
quite a few very strong cocktails afterwards.
