QGIS Mobile is dead...long live 'QField'

-
QGIS has become one of the most successful Open Source GIS projects on the planet. From it's early beginnings as not much more than a Shapefile viewer to an ArcGIS alternative coupled with Grass GIS Modules there is very little general spatial functionality missing... well almost.

QGIS was never meant to be a convenient field data entry tool and QGIS for mobile was meant to fill the gap however as of December 2014 the project has been refocused to create a touch optimised interface aimed at field work using the QGIS libraries.

'QField' aims to take your pre-prepared QGIS project out into the field and maintain QGIS styling. Some of the promised tools include:-
  • More GPS centric editing.
  • Desktop compatibility.
  • Synchronisation.
  • Project preparation on QGIS Desktop.
  • Simple interface with just a couple of buttons.
  • Switchable use paradigm
Built from Qt5, QtQuick 2 and OpenGL.

Before we start it is always a good idea to remove and re-install apache2 web server so that we start from the same set up:- To remove Apache2:- $ sudo apt --purge remove apache2 $ sudo apt autoremove To re-install Apache2:- $ sudo apt install apache2 $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart # or $ sudo service apache2 restart 1. $ sudo apt install apache2 (if not installed already done so as above) 2. $ sudo apt install qgis-server libapache2-mod-fcgid 3. $ sudo a2enmod fcgid 4. $ sudo a2enconf serve-cgi-bin 5. $ sudo service apache2 restart 6. add the following code and don't forget to save the changes:- ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"> Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Require all granted AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi </Directory> into /etc/apache2/sites-available/ 000-default.conf $ sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf # so that it looks like this:- <VirtualHost *:80>
