I have installed QGIS Web Map Server on my PC and the GetCapabilities response looks like below in the screenshot:

GetCapabilities response

But when I import this link to QGIS for open my project file, I am getting an error which is shown below in the pic. I have my shapefile as "kgp.qgs" which do not have any attribute data. I made this file from Google Earth using "polygon" tool. Then I converted the .xml format to shapefile in QGIS which doesn't bring any attribute data with itself. I'm showing the image of my "kgp" shapefile without any attribute data.

Can you help me to solve out my problem ?

  • It sounds like your problem is less one of how to view your service in QGIS as one of how to configure a service. Can you show the information in the GetCapabilities response for the Layers, so the first image shows the top part of the GetCapabilities response that you get when you make a request in a browser, this request is to see lower down in that response in the browser. I think it will point to the actual error and therefore help you find a solution

You don't use the full GetCapabilities request when specifying your WMS/WMST service. You should use only the service end point, that is the part of the URL that specifies the service, to which a client (QGIS in this example) will add all the appropriate request parameters

So for example if your GetCapabilities request was:

http://wms.vsegei.ru/VSEGEI_Bedrock_geology2/wms?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&

In QGIS, when you define the service you would have:

http://wms.vsegei.ru/VSEGEI_Bedrock_geology2/wms?

In some services, where the map configuration file is referenced, you would include the map configuration parameter as well, like:

http://localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe?map=path.to.map&

  • I use the link "localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe?map=c:/OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin/kgp.qgs&" But still i'm getting the error. Any solution?

  • What if you use: http://localhost/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi.exe?map=c:/OSGeo4W/apps/qg‌​is/bin/kgp.qgs&. Are you able to check what request is actually sent using say Fiddler, check my answer on gis.stackexchange.com/questions/31076/… for details of how to do this

  • I tried in that way also but its giving the same error. One thing more, my shape file is "kgp.qgs" which has no attribute data. I made that file from Google earth by converting xml format to shp in qgis which don't bring any attribute data with itself.
