[Mono-list] mod_mono 0.6 issues on SuSe 9.0

[Jim Erwin]

I am running SuSe 9.0 with the most recent updated Apache 2 packages
installed. I have downloaded, configured, and compiled the following
tarballs:

mono-0.29.tar.gz
mcs-0.29.tar.gz
xsp-0.8.tar.gz
mod_mono-0.6.tar.gz

I have everything configured with a prefix of /usr/local

The way the configuration files for Apache are set up in SuSe 9.0 is
rather funky. I have attempted to make modifications in the appropriate
config files for all of the entries listed by the INSTALL file in the
mod_mono tarball, but eventually removed them from inidividual config
files and added them to a config file that gets placed at the end of the
configuration for your custom entries (httpd.local.conf) and included
this with the appropriate directives in the apache configuration.


AddType application/x-asp-net .aspx .ashx .asmx .ascx .asax .config
.ascx
LoadModule mono_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_mono.so
MonoUnixSocket /tmp/mod_mono_server
Alias /mono "/usr/share/doc/xsp/test"

After dealing with various permissions issues in the way the default
configuration of apache is set up on SuSe 9.0, I got to a point where I
had everything set up correctly (according to the documentation). I
start mod-mono-server with the following line.

mono /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server.exe --root
/usr/local/share/doc/xsp/test --applications
/mono:/usr/local/share/doc/xsp/test

I verified that the configuration points correctly to
/tmp/mod-mono-server for the socket. I set the permissions on that file
to 777 after starting mod-mono-server.exe. The message from
mod-mono-server.exe gives me the impression that it all starts and
points to the right places. Unfortunately, if I try to pull up
http://localhost/mono/index.aspx It prompts me to open or save the file.
If I open, it shows me the source of the aspx file. It's as if a handler
never gets set up for sending the requests to the socket file. I thought
just loading the mono module 

The requests generate no errors in the apache error log. I just don't
get my requests compiled and parsed as an asp.net page should be.

Suggestions on how to get this to work would be appreciated.
