Hi Andy, 

Thank for these very precise instructions. 

I was able to do the same on CentOS 7 with only very minor differences
(probably because I self-compile QGIS server). 

Is the id 100001 for the swiss datum transformation stable? 

I think this information should be added to the QGIS user manual, in the
server section. I created a pull request:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pull/1481  

------- 

fyi: i get a server crash when I use a request in EPSG:2056, project
done in EPSG:21781 - still investigating what the reason is ... 

Thanks a lot - very useful information!
