[Mono-list] FW: How do i tell Mono (for ASP.NET, C#) where to find MySQL.Data.MySqlClient

[Bradley, Peter]

OK.  You're using Apache.  Presumably it's running as user wwwrun.  The
question is, can that user access the gac, and if so what kind of access
does it have?

Presumably you've aliased the directory holding your asp.net application
in your apache configuration so that it becomes, in effect, a part of
apache's file system - and you will have had to have granted sufficient
permissions to the apache user for it to do this.  So clearly it can
access anything in the /bin folder.  That's not a mystery, I don't
think.

My best guess as to what's happening is that this user doesn't have the
correct permissions on the gac: but I could be way off beam.  I just
wish some else would jump in - because I'm not on familiar territory at
all here.  One advantage, I suppose, of having the gac at
/usr/lib/mono/gac is that you know everyone can access it.

Another question occurs to me.  If you're using this for a class
exercise, how will the students' code access the gac if it's buried in
your private file system?

Good morning gentlemen,

apache , here it is:

Remember, everything seems to work OK if i put the .dll in 
/home/steflik/public_html/bin.
