mod_mono

Basically got this working by following the instructions to “Getting mod-mono working with Apache2” from:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-321552-highlight-modmono.html

So in summary:

emerge -av mod_mono

To enable mod_mono, you need to edit:

/etc/conf.d/apache2

and add

-D MONO

to APACHE2_OPTS.

From the svn repository (see below) copy the files:

/etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_mono.conf
/etc/init.d/mono-server

Need to make mono-server executable:

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/mono-server

Start apache and mono up by doing:

/etc/init.d/apache2 start
/etc/init.d/mono-server start

Save the following as test.aspx and place it in:

/var/www/localhost/htdocs/aspnet

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First ASP.NET Page</title>
<script runat="server">
 protected void Page_Load(Object Source, EventArgs E)
 {
   TimeLabel.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
 }
</script>
</head>
<body>

 <p>Hello there!</p>

  <p>The time is now: <asp:label runat="server" id="TimeLabel" /></p>

</body>
</html>

Point the browser to http://localhost/aspnet/test.aspx and if the output is like the following:

Hello there!
The time is now: 03/04/2005 11:14:15

then ASP.NET is working on mod_mono.

Things to note:

emerge -av mod_mono

tells you:

* Configuration file installed as
*     /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_mono.conf
BUT 70_mod_mono.conf must be in the folder:
/etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_mono.conf

The configuration changes to get this working can be found in the C1 subversion repository:
