QGIS Server
QGIS Server provides OGC services using the same libraries as the QGIS Desktop application. This makes it possible to publish maps and print templates to the web from within QGIS Desktop and the resulting web maps look exactly as they do on the desktop. QGIS server usually runs as a CGI module inside Apache Web Server.
Goals/Objectives/Outcomes
- Understand how to configure QGIS server inside a web server like Apache
- Understand how to publish projects from QGIS desktop to QGIS Server
- Understand how to consume services from QGIS server in a web mapping application
