[Mono-list] mod_mono does not start XSP

[Golo Haas]

Hi again,

just a little annotation ... I just found out what kind of mono processes are started by httpd ... it says:

/usr/bin/mono --debug /usr/bin/mod-mono-server.exe --filename /tmp/mod_mono_server --applications /test:/home/gh/XSP --nonstop

So, mod_mono seems to get up and running ... so, two questions remain ... how to set the correct rights for /tmp/mod_mono_server automatically after having started a new thread?

Second, is it necessary to set up the root directory manually?

Thanks in advance,


Golo


PS: I've got the feeling that I am close to the solution :-)

If it try to access http://mymachine/test for the first time, two mono processes are loaded and stay in memory. Every time I try to get access to the location again, a new mono process is started. Anyway, nothing happens on the web except the server error 503, that the service is temporarily unavailable.

That's, what the setting "MonoRunXSP True" is for, but either if I include it in httpd.conf or if I leave it out, it does not change anything.
