Ok, so I got around that by editing src/Makefile

from:

$(APXS) -S LIBEXECDIR="$(DESTDIR)$(APXS_LIBEXECDIR)" -S PREFIX="$(prefix)"
-i -n mono mod_mono.la

to:

$(APXS) -S LIBEXECDIR="$(DESTDIR)$(APXS_LIBEXECDIR)" -i -n mono mod_mono.la


But now I can't get the dumb thing to tell me why it is giving me internel
server errors.

I have given it and verified the paths it needs...... And tried in every
combination of those 4 options, all I know is it needs the
MonoApplicationsConfigDir and MonoServerPath because the apache log tells
me so..... After that it just gives me the internet server error instead
of service temporary univaliable...

(mono, xsp and mod_mono built with --prefix=/usr/local)

------------------------------------------------------------
LoadModule mono_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mono.so

MonoExecutablePath "/usr/local/bin/mono"
MonoServerPath "/usr/local/lib/mono/1.0/mod-mono-server.exe"
MonoApplicationsConfigDir "/etc/apache2/mod-mono-applications"
MonoPath "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/mono/1.0"
------------------------------------------------------------

example of a mono application (www.myhost.com.webapp)

------------------------------------------------------------
<apps>
  <web-application>
    <name>www.myhost.com</name>
    <vhost>www.myhost.com</vhost>
    <vport>80</vport>
    <vpath>/</vpath>
    <path>/home/me/myhost</path>
  </web-application>
  <web-application>
    <name>myhost.com</name>
    <vhost>myhost.com</vhost>
    <vport>80</vport>
    <vpath>/</vpath>
    <path>/home/me/myhost.com</path>
  </web-application>
</apps>
-------------------------------------------------------------

I have also went bare minimum and did the example demo configuration
without the vhost xml files... No difference.

anybody have any clue why it will no longer log any errors into the apache
error log? I am blind without anything telling me why it isn't working.
And an identical configuration on a fedora box works fine. Already checked
for typo's.

Anybody got any ideas at all?
