This is then referenced in qgis_map_serv.cpp and used if the environment variable QGIS_PREFIX_PATH is not set [0]. For the nightly builds, in qgisconf.h, it is: #define CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/Users/larrys/QGIS/nightly/QGIS_Apps/QGIS_2.1-dev.app/Contents/MacOS" since I (obviously) do not install the nightly to /Applications. Ideally, Mac apps should be able to move about the filesystem and still function. This is the only hard-coded path remaining, that I know of. So, the fix is to set QGIS_PREFIX_PATH *before* qgis_mapserv.fcgi is spawned at Apache launch. To do this I adjusted FastCgiConfig: <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> SetEnv QGIS_LOG_FILE /test-projects/qgis_wms_server.log FastCgiConfig -appConnTimeout 60 -idle-timeout 60 \ -init-start-delay 1 -startDelay 5 -minProcesses 2 -maxClassProcesses 20 \ -initial-env QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/larrys/Applications/QGIS_2.1-dev.app/Contents/MacOS \ -initial-env DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Users/larrys/Applications/QGIS_2.1-dev.app/Contents/Frameworks ... more config ... </IfModule> Couple of things to note about this config: * Notice QGIS_LOG_FILE env var is set at the Apache level, not for, or passed to, the FCGI process, where (for some reason) it doesn't work. QGIS has to be a debug variant build for output to file. * /Users/larrys/Applications/QGIS_2.1-dev.app is where my download of the nightly resides - denoted even though the qgis_mapserv.fcgi binary is inside it. I now know of some Mac-specific C++ code to find the absolute path to a launched binary (from inside itself) and can probably nix the need for setting QGIS_PREFIX_PATH in the future. * DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH is set because I have several versions/installs of Qt on my Mac. When dynamically loading Qt frameworks, you will often see warnings or errors about multiple copies being found and maybe get a crash. Use DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to append the app's embedded Qt frameworks' path. These errors can also occur when the PyQt4 modules used by QGIS and QGIS itself differ in found Qt frameworks as well. ANY Qt framework in a standard location, beyond that found in the app, will cause the issue. * DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH is still necessary if you are using the qgis_mapserv.fcgi binary directly from the build directory of a locally built QGIS source, and you have multiple Qt installs, as noted above. These fixes should not be needed with a standard Kyngchaos.com QGIS.app install into /Applications, unless maybe you move the .app bundle, or have extra Qt installs. Also of note, you should not move the qgis_mapserv.fcgi binary out of the QGIS.app bundle, as it links to many resources/libs from that location. You can set its directory up in Apache, a la the Server Tutorial [1], or symlink it to a fcgi-bin and set 'Options FollowSymLinks' for the fcgi-bin directory. However, you *can* relocate/copy the qgis_mapserv.fcgi binary from the <build>/output/bin directory, as it is not bundle-specific, just be sure to adjust the env vars to non-bundle resources accordingly, if necessary. Finally, after getting Server to work from the relocated nightly bundle, I noticed there seems to be a rendering issue with latest master, where layers would randomly not show up. It is unrelated to this issue because it happens on other installs as well. Please let me know if your test results differ. I will be adding these notes to the nightly download site, its README, and probably the Server tutorial page.
