OSGeo-Live (now at version 6)

-
Now that OSGIS is an acceptable alternative to proprietary offerings we need to be aware of 'the other' tools and libraries that rarely get a second look against the likes of QGIS, Geoserver and PostGIS.

I'm referring to Cameron Shorter's excellent OSGEO Live DVD, a ready compiled .iso image which can be copied and run from a usb drive or DVD and used without installation on the host computer. It is worth checking this presentation for a comprehensive selection of Open Source Mapping Tools.

 This post follows on from my previous three (most recent first in list) linked below.   There is no doubt that in just a short time from now we will probably see a 'one-click' installer to by-pass the next steps but a least this method allows you to change 'in/out' the individual libraries if there is are updates using the usual ' sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade '.   http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/08/qgis-server-bringing-map-into-browser.html   http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/07/how-to-install-qgis-server-on-ubuntu.html   http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/04/how-to-install-postgresql-95-and.html   1.  Firstly...Create a new QGIS project, add your layers from PostGIS, Shapefiles or raster (geotiff), style and symbolise those layers, set the projection and ensure you've set up your 'OWS Server' in 'Project Properties'.   2.  Let's install the 'Lizmap' Plugin first by going into the 'Plugins' menu then 'Manage

 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>

Check the 'Project Properties' under the 'Project' menu, go to the 'OWS server' tab. Below is an example of of how I've set up mine.           and here is the bottom bit you cannot see in the above image...         Ensure under 'Save Paths' in the 'General' Tab it is set to 'relative'.  Note that the layers you are going to select for the WMS service are ticked  under 'Published' in the WFS capabilities table.        Moving on to setting up your 'Add layer(s) from WM(T)S Server' button on the 'Manage Layers Toolbar'               Ensure your url is pointing at 'http://yourhost/cgi-bin/project/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?'it i
