Which files did you copy into which location? Please be more verbose.

Mono comes and depends on its own Mono.Security. If you somehow
managed to overwrite Mono's dll or place another version (e.g.
that one that came with NpgSQL) into your application's "bin" folder,
then the errors you've experienced are by design. Don't do it.

If you want to run a site under both IIS and Mono, then you must
copy Mono's system-default Mono.Security.dll into your application's
bin folder. If that DLL is badly interacting with NpgSQL, then
you should file a bug with its authors.
