The debian packages at present seem to not include an /etc/init.d script 
for starting mod-mono-server.exe, so I've tried writing one myself (via 
shameless copy-n-pasting from another one on my system), and I'm not 
having much luck so far. Maybe I shouldn't be trying to run the xsp 
process as www-data, but I can't think of any better user to use. (btw, 
I did make sure that www-data could read and write the root folder I 
specified, /home/sballard/unix-ivory - obviously, that's not a good 
location to use in general, but I wanted to get something working before 
picking the perfect location).

I get the following error:

Starting XSP: mod-mono-serverListening on: /tmp/mod_mono_server
Root directory: /home/sballard/unix-ivory

Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the 
path "" is denied.

.

I've attached the non-working init.d script in case anyone's interested. 
I had to create a /var/www/.wapi directory that was chowned to www-data 
in order to get past another error caused by the fact that www-data 
doesn't have write permissions to its own home directory. Can someone 
explain why xsp doesn't use /tmp for these files?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Stuart.
