In contrast to other WMS software, the QGIS Server uses cartographic rules as a configuration language, both for the server configuration and for the user-defined cartographic rules. As QGIS desktop and QGIS Server use the same visualization libraries, the maps that are published on the web look the same as in desktop GIS.

Where is WMS _ metadata.xml file located in QGIS?

If you don’t check Service capabilities , QGIS Server will use the information given in the wms_metadata.xml file located in the cgi-bin folder. If you’re using the QGIS project with styling based on SVG files using relative paths then you should know that the server considers the path relative to its qgis_mapserv.fcgi file (not to the qgs file).
