Hi all.I do not know if someone already followed this thread. Basically the issue is that qgis-mapserver requires an x server not to crash during printing. xvfb is just ok. It would be good to add it as a dep.
Any opinion? All the best. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] Error in LizMap printing Date: 2014-07-31 16:41 From: Alessandro Pasotti <apasotti@gmail.com> To: Andreas Neumann <a.neumann@carto.net> Cc: QGIS Developer Mailing List <qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> 2014-07-31 15:48 GMT+02:00 Andreas Neumann <a.neumann@carto.net>:
Everyone is invited to make a pull-request to the documentation or editthe QGIS server tutorial on the wiki. Obviously - installing QGIS server is somewhat trickier than QGIS desktop, because you have to deal with Apache, Apache rewriting, potentially also password protection, etc - and you have to make sure that all the paths to resources and Postgis connections from QGIS desktop are still reachable by QGIS server.The X-requirement is unfortunately necessary because of the way qt worksfor PDF generation and for the integration of SVG symbols/patterns.

I think we should set up a simpler solution however. Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
I'm still convinced that this is mainly a packaging problem. It's rather common for other (debian-like) packages to provide default apache working configs and to install dependencies (could be optional too). It's just a (fast)CGI after all. Of course the deafult installation must be fine-tuned or tweaked for production websites but this is also true for all other web applications. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer -- Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia www.faunalia.eu Full contact details at www.faunalia.eu/pc Nuovi corsi QGIS e PostGIS: http://www.faunalia.it/calendario
