[ubuntu] Mono killed PHP5

[Vegan]

After installing mono on my server, PHP5 stopped working. Now when I open the phpBB3 forum, the browser wants to save the page rather than render.

Tried reinstalling no joy, thoughts?

In hardy, the mono module depended on the threaded version of apache while the php module depended on the prefork version. You had to choose between php and mono. This appears to be fixed in intrepid.

mod-mono (1.9-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version. * Add Jo Shields to Uploaders. * Integrate changes from latest NMU (Closes: #457109, #472847 #486605, #487069). Thanks to Christian Perrier. * Bump standards version to 3.8.0 (no changes needed). * Prefork Apache isn't as broken as some people thought. Dependency lowered to apache2.2-common only, so any apache MPM can be chosen. -- Jo Shields <directhex@apebox.org> Fri, 4 Jul 2008 08:45:53 +0100

That is fundamentally wrong, file.php can be rendered with PHP and file.asp can be rendered with something else. So how do it fix my forums?

My goal was to have some sites based on PHP and be able to run run others that came from a Windows server that as ASPX based so I can host all comers.

You upgrade to intrepid (I think it will be released in a few days), then install whichever module you are currently missing. In hardy, you can't have both the php5 module and mono module installed, because as I explained before, their dependencies conflict.

What is intrepid supposed to be an upgrade for? So do I have to unlink my forums for now?

hardy = ubuntu 8.04
intrepid = ubuntu 8.10

I assumed you were running ubuntu, seeing as how you are posting on ubuntuforums. Intrepid is the next release of ubuntu, due out in a few days I think. It was also suggested in the bug report I found that you serve mono pages with xsp2 on a different port, then forward apache requests to xsp2 using mod_proxy.

What do you mean "unlink your forums"?

I am using Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS which I downloaded and installed a few months ago.

So is it an automatic update?

Ubuntu Server does not automatically update, unless you installed a desktop environment. If you installed a desktop environment, I think you will be asked if you want to upgrade. Since hardy will be supported longer, many people won't want to upgrade.

Is the a way to graunch the situation?

[cdenley]

The best way would probably be to build the package yourself, changing the dependencies.
