Hi Nick,
The QGIS server official documentation link you suggested is a truncated copy
from http://www.itopen.it/qgis-server-python-plugins-ubuntu-setup/ . It's
truncated because the original post started with apache setup but the QGIS
server doc doesn't.
A newbie user like me had seen both links, and frankly was appalled. 1. Why
would an official guide be a half-copy of someone else's work? Where is the
respect to copyright? 2. The original page described a helloworld example.
helloworld examples in most other projects come with a documentation. Where is
the documentation in the case of qgis server? 3. QGIS server was branded
'easiest to use. just put your qgis project file in the folder and it can be
seen from browsers'. Where is the documentation and example for that darling
functionality?
The bottom line is: if you want users to use something you invested programming
efforts into, please write a detailed and explanatory documentation. The
frustration of users will eventually kill the reputation of your dev team. And
the time you spend on answering questions will be magnitudes above the time to
write a decent documentation.

Dear QGIS community, I hope to seek your help on how to deploy the QGIS Server
on a ubuntu vmware instance.The QGIS server official guide is what I followed.
It does not work!!!http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/QGIS_Server_Tutorial 1.
After I typed in firefox:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
this is what I got: Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80 2. I made a QGIS project
file with 1 shapefile in it, and put the project file and shapefile in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin, as demonstrated in QGIS Server on Ubuntu Step-by-step

then I typed in firefox:

I still got this response: Not Found

I do not understand what went wrong or where can I get the right advice, as
the QGIS server documentation is highly rare, and frankly dubious. I really
love the stated feature of QGIS server: just place a QGIS project on a server,
and users can see the contents with any web browser. Could someone in the
community help me achieve this? And to the QGIS developers: please consider
writing your documentation with more details and pictures. And it'll be much
more helpful to include an executable readme/setup program in the QGIS server
distribution, so that us users can have some clue. Thank you!
