My whole Apache server seems to die, WMS layers stop working through QGIS and localhostlocalhost in browser brings up "Unable to connect".

qgis-web-client.confqgis-web-client.conf file looks like this:

I tried editing my host file as line 3 suggests but it makes no difference.

Removing the symlink to qgis-web-client.confqgis-web-client.conf repairs apache and server starts working again.

I dontdon't really know what I am checking. A little more info here would be great.

Thanks, Ben

QGIS Web Client installation procedure

I have QGIS Server up and running and can successfully load WMS layers back into QGIS. I am attempting to set up the QGIS Web Client. Procedure: https://github.com/qgis/qgis-web-client

I am having difficulties with the install.

I run:

  cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
  ln -s <path to apache-conf/qgis-web-client.conf> .
  sudo a2enmod rewrite
  sudo a2ensite qgis-web-client.conf
  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reloadad

My whole Apache server seems to die, WMS layers stop working through QGIS and localhost in browser brings up "Unable to connect".

qgis-web-client.conf file looks like this:

In addition, when it asks

Check the QGIS libs are in your /etc/ld.so.conf path
