Peter, I think you are just missing the map parameter. Should be:
map=/path/to/your/projectfile.qgs This is essential, as otherwise QGIS server doesn't know which project you are refering to. As Alex said, this is a vendor-specific parameter. Alternatively to the map parameter you can use a technique in Apache called URL-rewriting, decribed in the README of QGIS web client. This rewrites the URL so that the map parameter gets added.
