Hi Marcel, If the GetCapabilities command is answering it means that at least parts of the QGIS server is running ok.
The WMS server supports the following commands: GetCapabilities GetMap GetLegendGraphic GetFeatureInfo GetPrint The GetCapabilities is always at the start of a session or connection to get the service metadata. In your case it looks like a CRS issue. You should make sure that in your new empty test project you specify the same projection as in the Alaska sample project. There are reprojection options - but for a start it is easier if server and client are in the same projection. It will also be faster if no reprojection has to be done. Once QGIS works fine as a client, you can go on and configure QGIS web client. Before, it makes no sense and you should first fix the server.
