2.8.4 reinstalled, I confirm, it's a regression.

Can you be more precise :
Do you have problems with other QGIS Provider (OGR: ESRI Shapefile, etc) or only with PostGIS ?
Do you have problems on a specific platform: Debian, Windows, MacOS ?

Do you have a problem on Desktop with PostGIS provider ?

Please include steps to reproduce (sample setup?). What's the difference between the projects that work to the projects that don't?

1. I have only PostGIS layers, so I cannot tell whether the problem is also with other sources (the Lizmap demo, based on shp, however, works)
2. I only tested on Debian stable
3. on the desktop I got no crashes with the same projects, but I noticed QGIS hangs often on project close, and I have to kill it by hand
4. To reproduce it, a project that works with 2.8.4 can be run on a 2.8.5. I systematically get the crash for the non working projects; all this happened on a production server, so I cannot leave a sample non working setup, sorry
5. I have tried hard to understand the difference between working and crashing projects, but got no clue. Certainly very simple projects (only one layer) work, more complex ones mostly (but not always) do not. I can provide the projects if useful

I tried reproducing the issue on another machine with a simple project, activating and deactivating reprojection, and I couldn't. More testing in different context would be appreciated.

is this an issue just on single machine, or is confirmed to be a more general one?

Tested on two machines, both Debian (one sid, one testing). It would be good to replicate it on other systems too.

Hi

• debian 8
• qgis-server 2.12.3+13jessie
• Postgresql/Postgis DB (9.4/2.1)

Qgis server crashes regularly on lizmap-web printing requests. More frequently when Postgis datasources exist in querys but not only (crashes sometimes with shapefile sources)

lizmap logs :

file_get_contents(http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?geometryname=extent&map=/projet_35_lizmap.qgs&outputformat=GeoJSON&request=GetFeature&service=WFS&typename=tiers&version=1.0.0

Did you install and config xvfb? Does this happen only with 2.8.5?
Thanks for the feedback.

Hi

I found following messages in syslog that appears during qgis server crash.

for me still qgis-server 2.12.3 (debian jessie)

hope this helps.

My last try with a 2.8.4 (debian jessie backport package). The result is the same.
When I play manualy print request, the first is ok and the second produce a qgis server crash. Fcgi restart qgis and then it works again.
Something strange is that only printing requests crash. I can't make qgis crash with usual GetImage requests.

That's a known issue: you need to setup an X server (xvfb is the easiest). See http://www.itopen.it/qgis-server-setup-notes/
The issue described in this ticket is a different beast.

thanks Paolo,
Your right, it's a different bug.
you wrote here #9295
even after installing and configuring xvfb. This happens quite reliably when attempting to print a layout with layers present in the template legend, but switched off in the TOC.
And I can reproduce it. I've setup an xvfb server, but it didn't change anything.
Perhap's my problem is not a qgis problem.

Please retest with current master. Done fixes landed yesterday which may improve this.

Starting from 2.8.6 the issue seems solved. It would be good if someone could test it in different settings.
