I'd like to learn something about web maps and so decided to start out using EC2, following different tutorials I was able to start a micro instance but I can't find my way on how to get qgis server running. Any good tutorial to follow??

Thank you for your answer. I followed the tutorials you suggested but I always get stuck somewhere (usually I first have problems with "locale" and then I can get ubuntu "cgi" functionality) so I was wondering, is there anything more specific and step-by-step? thanks again– Luca MoianaCommented Oct 29, 2013 at 6:52

I think you'll be disappointed trying to run any GIS, especially a server, on an EC2 Micro instance. These are not powerful machines and have a poor IO capacity. You can do it. It's just that I don't think it's a great solution given the hardware limitations.– MappaGnosisCommented Oct 29, 2013 at 8:55

Thank for the comment and the editing. I get the point but my idea was to create a simple webmap to share, without any advanced GIS editing or geoprocessing– Luca MoianaCommented Oct 29, 2013 at 12:49

Here's a tutorial: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/QGIS_Server_Tutorial
Here's another: http://docs.qgis.org/2.0/da/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html
I'd recommend using Ubuntu 12.04, you can find an EC2 image for that.
(Edit: fixed the second link)

1I think it would be great if you can also post the relevant bits here. That way your answer will be self-contained and not be too dependent on external links.– R.K.Commented Oct 29, 2013 at 12:38

I haven't actually done it myself, so I'd prefer not to write up a howto. I could write up something about EC2, but that is pretty basic and easy to learn... Commented Nov 4, 2013 at 23:22
