QGIS Server

You can download a VM with an older QGEP setup that also has QGIS Server installed from http://docs.qtibia.ro/qgisplatform.vdi.xz .

The VM has working installations of QGIS Server and QGIS Web Client (QWC).

Access the Web Services

The Apache server is setup to respond to requests pointing to the http://qgisplatform.demo. Accessing the above link with the Internet Browser of the VM will take you to the starting page of QWC depicted in the below image.

QGIS Web client starting page

If you want to access the web services outside the VM, you need to edit the hosts file on your machine and point qgisplatform.demo to the IP of the VM.

Note

If you’ve setup the VM with the network adapter in NAT mode only the VM host will be able to access the services. If you want all the devices on your LAN to do it, you need to setup the network adapter in bridge mode.
