I have installed QGIS Server through OSGEO4W. I followed the instructions by Anita Graser, as well as the instructions on this page but still keep getting a 500 Internal Server Error. The objective was to install a localhost instance to work with QGIS Server in a workshop environment.

What is peculiar is that in a group of 13 laptops running Win7, 4 loaded fine (with the odd 500 error).

Is there anyone who has managed to overcome this? I copied the dll files into the QGIS Server folder, changed the filename to remove the .exe from the filename qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe, and then added it back on again. Every change I made, I restarted the apache server, but no change to the end result. Is it perhaps an install issue, which is making this impossible to troubleshoot?

This is what worked for me on windows 7:

Using the OSGeo4W setup, install the following packages:

  1. apache
  2. mod_fcgi
  3. qgis-server
  4. qscintilla

All the other dependencies will be installed automatically.

Run the get capabilities to check if it works http://localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

If it works you can go ahead and remove the .exe from qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe and edit the httpd.conf
