OK - I'm not sure if this is the correct way to fix this problem, but this
is what I did. Hope it helps someone else:

Create site configuration file:
  vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com (use your domain name)
  add the following to file:
  Alias / "/var/www/ "
  AddMonoApplications default "/:/var/www/ "
  <Location / >
  SetHandler mono
  </Location>
  save and close file
  a2ensite example.com
  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This fix not only displayed the default.aspx file when I entered my domain
name in my browser but also displayed it when I just typed my IP address
into the browser.
