Hi All, I've been using QGIS Desktop for a 4 years now, and have recently started exploring QGIS Server. I have used it for a couple of quick demos, but for all my production needs I have always used GeoServer. My background is in using ArcGIS, so the way QGIS Server works- where you make a map in the desktop software & then publish that directly- feels more natural than working with GeoServer, where you publish data separately and style it separately.
Recently someone asked me to evaluate QGIS Server, and I have extensively started using it and testing it out. I have a few questions about QGIS Server: 1) Is there a Road-map for QGIS Server? Do you have an aim for this project? Is it to become a Production ready Web mapping Server, or is it for just testing? 2)Are there plans for a standalone setup for just the server part(For Windows)? This is the user case: I have already installed Apache and QGIS Desktop on my system. If I need QGIS server, I need to install a lot of things using osGeo4w and then just copy the required things to my Apache. (This procedure is documented here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/86348/adding-qgis-server-to-an-existing-windows-web-server) I know that I should probably log this as a feature request, but I thought I'll ask before I do so. 3)I was making the WMS requests, and due to wrong/missing parameters, I was getting HTTP 500 from the service. Are the cause of the errors logged anywhere? I checked the Apache error logs, and they were not there. 4) The QGIS docs ( http://docs.qgis.org/2.2/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html) mentions a ‘Publish to Web’ plugin. Where is this Plugin? I couldn't find it in the plugins list. Regards, Devdatta Tengshe
