The VB7 compiler we had (mbas) has been removed completely, and replaced by
a new compiler (vbnc) which targets VB8 / .NET 2.0.

You should be able to download and install newer versions of the VB compiler
(and runtime) without updating your entire mono, just go to
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html and get the mono-basic
package/source.

If this still doesn't work, I'd need more info about the error (accessing
the page from the same machine as localhost will normally show an error page
with more information).
