Mod_mono issues

[brianhenson]

I installed mod_mono and the mono-apache-server2 along with the required packages for mono and such and I cannot get mono to work. when running a simple hello world in vb.net I get this error in the apache error.log

[Tue Jan 06 18:39:01 2009] [error] Failed running '/usr/bin/mod-mono-server --filename /tmp/mod_mono_server_global --nonstop --master (null) (null) (null) (null) (null) (null) (null) (null)'. Reason: No such file or directory


I have it set to use the mod-mono-server2 in the mono.conf file but it is still trying to use the version 1 witch is not installed. Anyone have a solution or can point me in the right direction?

edit: forgot to say I am running intrepid on x86

Sorry, which file exactly are you editing?

I followed the guide located here http://frugalcoder.us/post/2008/02/Setting-up-mod_mono-(ASPNet-20)-on-Ubuntu-710-(Gutsy-Gibbon).aspx and made a auto_mono_hosting.conf

The guide is wrong.

Unfortunately, MonoAutoApplication does not permit you to override MonoServerPath - it is hard-coded to use /usr/bin/mod-mono-server

I filed a bug on this here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440415

Oh, and the guide is wrong for another reason - use "a2dismod" and "a2enmod", don't symlink things in /etc/apache2 manually

[brianhenson]

Do you have any sujections on how to get this up and running? I am up for anything and not afraid of the command line :lolflag:

[directhex]

I HATE to suggest it, but ln -s /usr/bin/mod-mono-server2 /usr/bin/mod-mono-server

[brianhenson]

ok now I have done that it is asking me to download the file. at least we are getting somewhere now.

Restart apache

[brianhenson]

I did that with the same results and just to make sure I wasn't to tired to work on it I did it again just now with the same result, it asking me to download the file

Check your apache log then, mod_mono isn't being used properly

[brianhenson]

ok i checked the error.log and here is what i am getting

[Wed Jan 14 23:06:43 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.20] Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01

[directhex]

Paste your config file

[directhex]

Oh, and make sure you have libmono-i18n{1,2}.0-cil installed

[brianhenson]

Ok i had those installed and here is my mod_mono_auto.conf file
MonoServerPath "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server2"
MonoAutoApplication enabled
AddType application/x-asp-net .aspx
AddType application/x-asp-net .asmx
AddType application/x-asp-net .ashx

AddType application/x-asp-net .cs
AddType application/x-asp-net .config

One day people might listen to me. One day...

Yes I remember and I asked how to fix it. Those are the files i have configured the rest is stock from the package. I don't know anything about mono so I am just relying on help. once i screwed up with it once i didnt want to do anything else that would hinder the troubleshooting process

You cannot combine ANY settings starting with "Mono" with "MonoAutoApplication" - you need to remove your MonoServerPath setting.

Ok I removed that line and i get this from the error.log and it askes me to download the file. [Sat Jan 17 15:22:23 2009] [warn] long lost child came home! (pid 14689)
[Sat Jan 17 15:22:23 2009] [warn] long lost child came home! (pid 14691) if I have to we can work from scratch and purge and reinstall mono and start over if you feel that is needed.

Purging libapache2-mod-mono2 and installing it again might help, as long as you're certain that all the config files are gone. Then use "a2dismod mod_mono" and "a2enmod mod_mono_auto"

[brianhenson]

Ok i purged it. i removed the autohosting file i created using the howto. I now have a clean mono and mod-mono install. I did not enable the auto hosting so I can use the mod_mono.conf file. If i am wrong please let me know. I want to set it up the right way not the fast way.
