[Mono-dev] Unable to create unix domain socket with mod-mono under apache2 fc4

[Phillip Fry]

Hi,

I am running into a strange problem with mod mono
server with apache 2.0.54 on fedora core 4. 

I got all the pre built yum depots for mono.  Compiled
and installed mod_mono.  Tried the example, but I
always get 503 error.  I tried deleting /tmp/.wapi
dirs that still didn't help.  I turned on debuging in
mod-mono and added more output to mod-mono-server.exe
and this is what I got. 

...

I am puzzled why we can't create a unix domain socket
in /tmp.  I put in some code in mod-mono-server.exe to
create regular file on start up in /tmp and that works
fine.   /tmp is rwx by everyone but I never saw any
socket file in there created by mod_mono on apache. 

Is there some env variable that apache is not setting
that mono needs to create a socket in /tmp.  Seems odd
enough that creating a regular file is OK but a unix
domain socket is denied.  Xsp and mod-mono-server all
works fine on the command line.  

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can shed
some light on this strange behavior. 


Thanks
