QGIS Mapserver originally has two configuration files, located in the
|
||
|
|
same directory as the FCGI binary:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- admin.sld
|
||
|
|
- wms_metadata.xml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The binary only accepts them, when they are located in the same directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"admin.sld" uses extended SLD syntax (Style Layer Descriptor) to
|
||
|
|
describe symbolization of data. It's more comfortable though, to
|
||
|
|
layout your map in QGIS and just use a .qgs (QGIS project) to describe
|
||
|
|
your map. This approach also allows for multiple map services, because
|
||
|
|
the Mapserver accepts the path to a QGIS project as a HTTP Get
|
||
|
|
parameter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A getCapabilities request looks like this, if you use the supplied
|
||
|
|
sample configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?MAP=/var/www/html/my_first_map.qgs&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/var/www/html/my_first_map.qgs is the assumed location of your QGIS
|
||
|
|
project file. The actual data can stay where it is. Make sure QGIS
|
||
|
|
Mapserver can access the project file and don't forget to let Httpd
|
||
|
|
reload its configuration before sending your requests!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"wms_metadata.xml" supplies metadata for your WMS. If you serve different
|
||
|
|
projects, metadata may vary, so that file won't work for you. Try to fill
|
||
|
|
in on the metadata tab of your QGIS project. It is not that complete
|
||
|
|
though, but enhancement is planned, Marco Hugentobler said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both configuration files are included as documentation.
