[Mono-list] Mono ASP.NET Webservice

Tue Oct 7 05:37:07 EDT 2008

Hi List,

I am currently investigating the best approach for deploying an
persistent ASP.NET Webservice (.asmx) under Linux/Mono. This is a SOAP
ASP.NET Webservice that must run over SSL.

I have tried the following:

*         Apache2/mod_mono, configured using using mono-server2. Using
AutoHosting. (Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_mono/1.9 mod_ssl/2.2.8
OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at timjenks2 Port 443). This is functional, and I
can call WebMethods fine. One gotcha was that the application lifetime
method Application_Start does not get called, some refactoring to a
stateless service was needed to get everything running.

*         Lighttpd/fastcgi-mono-server2. This serves the .asmx OK when
browsing, but upon making SOAP calls to the WebMethod, the server 404s
(see below). I am assuming this is just misconfiguration of either
fastcgi-mono-server2 or lighttpd, but any hints would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best approach for deploying
ASP.NET Webservices under Mono? Reading material seems to be lacking, so
any advice would be outstanding.

Secondly, are stateful ASP.NET Applications ala IIS supported (i.e. the
service lifetime methods Application_Start/End are called, and the state
of the service is maintained between calls)? If so, does anyone have
pointers as to configuration settings under either Lighty or mod_mono?
(I've done the usual trawling, but have failed to turn up anything
concrete).

Thanks in advance
