Posting again without screenshot, which apparently caused my previous email to await moderator approval.
Mats, I fired up a new Ubuntu 20.04 instance on AWS and did the following 5 steps which got me an XML capabilities document. # standard practice when starting a new instance sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y # reboot if a new kernel was installed by apt upgrade sudo reboot # install qgis-server and apache web server sudo apt install qgis-server apache2 libapache2-mod-fcgid # enable apache fcgi and cgi sudo a2enmod fcgi cgi sudo systemctl restart apache2 # in a web browser you should now get an XML document from the following request http://IP-ADDRESS-OR-HOST-NAME /cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities And 3 more steps got me a map # load some test data wget https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Training-Data/archive/v2.0.zip sudo apt install unzip unzip v2.0.zip # in a web browser you should get a map from the following request http://IP-ADDRESS-OR-HOST-NAME /cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&MAP=/home/ubuntu/QGIS-Training-Data-2.0/exercise_data/qgis-server-tutorial-data/world.qgs&LAYERS=countries&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&CRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=200&BBOX=-90,-180,90,180 The tutorial tries to cover a lot of ground, maybe too much. And the 8 steps above certainly don't cover enough for a production server. But it's quite unfair to say that "QGIS Server is not ready for production". As Donovan pointed out, there are a lot of moving parts and you have to have some proficiency with all of them if you are doing it on your own. The basic principle is that QGIS Server is serving WMS, WFS, WCS requests via CGI (or Fast-CGI). Apache, Ngix, IIS, Tomcat all can serve CGI and Fast-CGI. Pick whatever operating system and web server you're the most proficient with. Install QGIS Server, start with the simplest configuration that you can, as I did above. Then start tuning it to your needs. If you run into problems ask for help on the list or https://gis.stackexchange.com/ with specific details as to what the problem is. -- Richard W.
