[Mono-list] New Suse?

[Carl Olsen]

Hi Joseph,

That's good to know.  I guess I'll just leave the "httpd2-refork.conf" file
alone until I want to do an upgrade and then switch it back to
"loadmodule.conf".

However, I think your computer will remove mod-mono from the loadmodule.conf
file if you don't have it listed in the list of modules in the apache2 file
in the /etc/sysconfig folder.  I noticed that those two files are dependent
on each other.  I think you need both mono and mod_mono listed in the
apache2 file.

I downloaded the RPMs for rcd, rug, and red-carpet (from Novell, Ximian, or
SuSE - I can't remember where I found them) and then used YaST to install
the RPMs from the local machine.  After that, Red Carpet appears as a menu
item, so I didn't use a command line to start Red Carpet.  One thing I see
in your tutorial that I didn't know is how to stop and start Apache.  I've
been rebooting the machine.  It will be a lot easier using the YaST Run
Level editor.  I also forgot to mention that XSP runs just fine after
installing all the mono RPMs using Red Carpet.  The only thing that is
difficult is the ASP.NET mod_mono piece.  Runnig XSP is a good idea, because
then you know that ASP.NET is working and its just a matter of configuring
Apache correctly.
