Ok, it works this way:
First, install apache if necessary, including all dependencies
apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-threaded-dev
Download and compile mono from
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources-stable/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
Then, while it compiles, install these:
apt-get install mono-apache-server libapache2-mod-mono
apt-get install mono-gmcs mono-gac
apt-get install mono-apache-server2
apt-get install mono-utils monodevelop monodoc-browser monodevelop-nunit monodevelop-versioncontrol
Then download the xsp server:
apt-get install mono-xsp mono-xsp2
or build it from source according to this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225454&page=3
then download the asp.net examples
apt-get install asp.net2-examples
The apache root on debian/ubuntu is in:
/var/www
(in openSUSE it is /srv/www/hdtocs)
which is where you want the xsp root to be, too.
now add mod mono to your apache configuration file
gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf
restart apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
other options are:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 xxx
xxx = {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|start-htcacheclean|stop-htcacheclean|status}.
Now copy the asp.net examples to your wwwroot.
They are in:
/usr/lib/xsp/test
or
/usr/local/lib/xsp/test
now go to /var/www and start xsp
xsp
Note: xsp root folder is where you start xsp from.
If you don't start it from /var/www, it won't find the files you put in /var/www
if you don't find the examples, copy this file in /var/www/
hello.aspx
<%@ Page language="c#"%>
<script language="c#" runat=server>
public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Why break tradition?
Response.Write( "Hello, World!" );
}

and this file (important)

Now go to http://localhost/index.aspx
or
http://localhost:8080/index.aspx
And you should see the asp.net site !
