Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial. I will install it on Windows 10 and share if there are any issues.

great video. Is it possible to do this on one Ubuntu Laptop, without a separate machine? If yes, where do I get the IP adress that I need to insert into the etc/hosts file? (I have apache2 and QGIS Server installed on Ubuntu desktop).

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<ServerException>Project file error. For OWS services: please provide a SERVICE and a MAP parameter pointing to a valid QGIS project file</ServerException>

I followed the same steps but this is appearing on the webpage. Can you help me with this? Please.

Hey, that's a great video, I am stauck at installing my QGIS Server under windows. Could you help with that?

[dantasfelipe]

Hello, I would like to thank you for this excellent video, as there are not many out there for beginners like me. I followed the script and managed to get the standard GetCapabilities, however when I add the MAP variable to the url defining the path for my project, getting an error "500 Internal Server Error". What could be happening? If I use the documentation project, it works perfectly, but my project that I created in QGIS Windows and transfer to the linux server does not work: /
Ah, if I can place an order, make a video series about the qgis server, settings for production, etc., because novice users like me, I have many difficulties due to lack of documentation.

Hello and thank you for your video, I really appreciate

I try to configure on my virtual machine on azure but I am obtain the following error: Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

The Apache server is running correctly, but the URL is not working, do you know what is the probably reason of it ?

Thank you
