It requires fcgi. It is +optionally built at the same time as QGIS; you need to specify SERVER=yes +to the SlackBuild, for example + + SERVER=yes sh qgis.SlackBuild + +By default, the server is installed into /var/www/cgi-bin/qgis, and so the +WMS URL is 'http://<hostname>/cgi-bin/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi'. However, a +different directory can be specified by passing CGIBINDIR=<path> to the +SlackBuild script. + +After installing QGIS (and the server), you will need to set up the server. +To serve a single QGIS project, this can be done as follows: + +* In the qgis 'Project Properties' window, on the 'General' tab, ensure +that 'Save paths' is set to 'absolute', and on the 'WMS Server' tab, fill +in all relevant details (particularly including 'Coordinate Systems +Restrictions'). + +* Create a symlink to your QGIS project file from /var/www/cgi-bin/qgis/, +e.g., + + ln -s /home/user/maps/mymap.qgs /var/www/cgi-bin/qgis/ |
