Nyall, and QGIS fellow users and friends! No one is born with knowledge, but everyone can learn. Which is what I am trying hard here. I humbly asked for user collaboration, and took great care in explaining what I have done, and what I am aiming at. (see also the thread "*Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4*") I have not given up yet, but I will drop this thread. As you imply, it has taken off in the wrong direction.
