Re: [Qgis-user] Re: Qgis Server under windows
Hi, Maybe QGIS Server could be included in OSGeo4W? It would certainly lower the barrier for people willing to try/test it.

[Qgis-user] Qgis WMS HTTP auth problem in 1.5 and 1.6
Hi, I cannot get HTTP authentication to work for WMS layers in QGIS 1.5 and 1.6. It does work in QGis 1.4. How i expect it to behave: Layer-Add WMS Layer-Edit-Enter name, URL, username, password-Ok-Connect-Add When I toggle the layer active in the left layers panel, the WMS image will appear. How it behaves in 1.6: I toggle the layer active in the left layers panel. A new dialog will appear saying Enter Credentials Username. Password. Authentication required [OK] [Cancel] Now, when I enter the username and password *again* (I already entered them when defining the layer!) the WMS image will appear. Can anyone else reproduce this? Should I file a bug report? Some extra info: Geoserver 2.1b3 as password protected WMS server. QGIS-1.6 windows stock install. The layer source in layers properties are in the form of: username=foo,password=bar,url=http://mygeoserver:9090/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.1.1; I'm gladly willing to test different configurations if it helps debugging the issue.

[Qgis-user] Selecting an Enterprise GIS Solution - QGIS is Selected!
Hi, I found this article while browsing, Selecting an Enterprise GIS Solution Selecting an Enterprise GIS Solution - QGIS is selected. DSE (Department of Sustainability and Environment in Victoria, Australia). Read this article below and visit the website. Thanks, Noli Selecting an Enterprise GIS Solution Wednesday, 08 December 2010 17:52 E-mail Print Client Profile: Anthony Draga - Project Manager, Spatial Information Infrastructure (SII), Department of Sustainability Environment How do you choose the right GIS technology for your enterprise? The Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) has been a long time user of ESRI-based GIS, from the desktop to web mapping. Like many large organisations, DSE has a large number of officers who require desktop GIS tools, but seldom use advanced analytical features. Many of these officers continue to use ArcView 3x although it is outdated and not supported within DSE. DSE contracted Spatial Vision to identify the range of cost-effective alternatives available to fulfil their requirements, including Open Source GIS. Spatial Vision undertook a market-wide review of desktop GIS products to understand the range of options available to meet the Department's functional needs, as well as the associated costs and resources required to implement any new technology. The Spatial Vision consultants commenced by working with DSE project stakeholders to define a comprehensive set of 95 functional and 20 non-functional assessment criteria. This was followed by a desktop investigation of alternative GIS products against a sub-set of the evaluation criteria. In total, 38 individual products were assessed, highlighting three categories of GIS software: open source, commercial and freeware - that is free software from commercial proprietors. Nine products were shortlisted. Each of the shortlisted products were downloaded, installed and evaluated against the full set of DSE criteria. The outcome of the evaluation was the selection of two Open Source GIS products, gvSIG and Quantum GIS, for presentation to DSE project stakeholders. DSE and DPI officers were then provided with an opportunity to conduct a hands-on assessment of the useability of the two products. Overall, Quantum GIS was rated highest in functionality and useability. Compliance Assessment for the 9 Shortlisted Products. The two Arc products failed to meet the requirement to create and edit data hence the high non-compliance. Implementing an alternative GIS product needs to consider more than just application functionality. Consideration must also be given to the impacts of the preferred software for data storage and distribution, symbology standards, and approaches to ensure that potential users are adequately engaged, trained and supported. Open Source software may not involve purchase costs but implementation is another matter. To assist DSE to determine the viability of the favoured Open Source solution, implementation costs across a five-year period were compared with those associated with a commercial package. This investigation confirmed the potential for the Open Source solution to deliver cost savings but only over the longer term. DSE is now undertaking a larger trial of Quantum GIS to determine its suitability. The use of Quantum GIS is not intended to replace DSE's investment in ArcGIS for more sophisticated analysis, mapping and data management activities, rather provide a complimentary alternative for basic view, query and map production tasks. http://www.spatialvision.com.au/index.php/component/content/article/46-strategic-advice-projects/521-selecting-an-enterprise-gis-solution.html ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Our local environmental authority is interested in testing Qgis Server and I'd be happy to help them, but I'm neither windows nor cgi geek.

Or inversely? But how to debug it? My time was over and I hadn't write any fcgi script to ensure if mod_fastcgi is working properly at all. I've downloaded it as a .dll file and dropped it into a directory with .so files only. Does it make any sense? I'd love to read about it, but mod_fastcgi documentation is very mysterious... Every time I touch windows I feel like a blind child in a fog :) B. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
