[Mono-aspnet-list] AutoHosting and Apache restart

[Max Rubis]

Hi.

After whole day of debugging the xsp (mod-mono-server2.exe), I found why it's not restarting the thread properly (although root cause of this is still unknown).

ApplicationServer.cs:
There is a functon RealStop that does the cleanup. It's being called from a foreground thread here:

// A foreground thread is required to end cleanly
Thread stopThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (RealStop));
stopThread.Start ();

For some reason, if I don't use "separate" thread, but just call the function everything works fine. So I just change that to:

RealStop();

Thanks,
Max
