[Mono-aspnet-list] CommonApplicationData alternative

[william leader]

Assuming that /var/www is the apache user's home directory on your
machine, then that user should have permission to create the directory
if it doesn't exist. Another option for you is to make the directory a
configurable option for your asp application, and let the
administrator set it to a directory they like, and setup the
appropriate permissions.
