[Mono-list] Mono on a VPS (Luke Mackenzie)

Ah ok, yes, root is needed...

But you will also need to make sure that mod_mono is installed for
Apache... http://apacheworld.org/modmono/

If you are looking at Windows hosting I can recommend Brinkster
(www.brinkster.com) as a superb host (and if you do choose them you
could signup with my referral id
http://www.brinkster.com/redirect.aspx?rf=m4nifest and earn me some
commision!)

I don't pretend to be an expert on mod_mono/apache stuff but if
there's anything else feel free to email back!
