<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Hi QGISers (sorry for cross-posting)<br><br>I'm trying to setup a QGIS Server... on Windows and I'd like to share some <br>suggestions/issues I faced in the process and ultimately ask for help on a <br>bigger issue.<br>I'm following the QGIS documentation instructions [0] and took the <br>opportunity to update the docs[1][2], given that osgeo4w provides means to <br>install apache. Review welcome, thanks.<br><br>In the docs, it is suggested to add at the end of the httpd.conf file a <br>set of variables. But I notice that *most* of them are already set in the <br>httpd_qgis.conf file that is #included at the end of the httpd.conf file. I <br>hence ignored the addition but, Questions:<br>- are the GDAL_DATA and QGIS_AUTH_DB_DIR_PATH necessary for any purpose?<br>- If so, for what? And is it possible (does it make sense) to add them to the <br>httpd_qgis.conf file also?<br><br>- Issue report: I think there is a typo in the httpd_qgis.conf file <br>setting PATH and QT_PLUGIN_PATH. It mentions apps/qt5/ while it should be <br>apps/Qt5/ (uppercase Q).<br><br>In my process, I didn't set the gdal or db paths above, I fixed the <br>uppercase typo and when I tested I could get a reply for GetCapabilities as in <br>the docs. Using the QGIS training project, I could do a GetMap which successfully returned my map canvas image. Good! My server is OP!<br>Well, this is where I got lost. I thought the request would output in the <br>browser some image i could zoom in, pan, maybe identify... But NO, I got a <br>plain, static image. What am I supposed to do next? How can I make my <br>project queryable, zoomable, pannable, anythingable... in a web browser?<br>I might have overlooked, but the docs does not seem t provide any information for <br>newbies like me, for the next step. Where should I look now? Your help to <br>get out of this trouble would be much appreciated. Thanks.<br><br>Regards,<br>Harrissou<br><br>[0] <br><a href="https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/server_manual/getting_started.html#installation-on-windows">https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/server_manual/getting_started.html#installation-on-windows</a><br>[1] reading: <br><a href="https://github.com/DelazJ/QGIS-Documentation/blob/installQGISServerWindows/docs/server_manual/getting_started.rst">https://github.com/DelazJ/QGIS-Documentation/blob/installQGISServerWindows/docs/server_manual/getting_started.rst</a><br>[2] pull-request: <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pull/7508">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pull/7508</a></body></html>
