[Mono-aspnet-list] 'ConnectionStringsSection' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

[Danny Hogan]

Good evening,

I'm trying to troubleshoot an installation of mono asp.net 4 on apach2 on a
rasberry pi.  I have a fully functioning ASP.Net web site that when I put
it on the rasberry pi mono gives me the error shown below.  Nothing in the
site's design was changed when it was moved to the pi so it should just
work.  The rasberry pi will run hello world and other simple ASPX pages I
feed it, it also runs HTML pages just fine so the installation seems to be
working.  Is there a special setting with mono I need to configure to use
certain features?  In my code below I un-comment Imports
System.Configuration (on the pi just to see if my mono needs broader
inclusion but then I get another error with hardly any details at all which
is even more confusing.  Is it odd that a perfectly working aspx site on
windows suddenly won't run on mono?  The site is built for asp.net 4.0.
