[Mono-list] Guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a clean Ubuntu 8.10 Server machine

[Mike Christensen]

Ok I've updated my step 7 section, I think this is a lot better.

7) Configure Mod_Mono with Apache

Type: cd /etc/apache2/mods-available/
Type: pico mod_mono.load

This will create a new file, add the following lines to the file:
   Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf
   MonoServerPath /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2

Press CTRL+X to exit Pico, answer "Yes" to save your changes.

Now we have to activate our new module.

Type: a2enmod mod_mono
Restart Apache by typing: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

8) Make sure it all works!

...

Also I've changed all the tar commands to "tar -xvpjf" so the user can 
see what's going on <g>

Also, *quick question* why doesn't the mod_mono.conf file just get built 
into the /mods-available directory in the first place, along with a 
mod_mono.load file?  If this happened, I'd only need to tell users to 
enable the mod and boom they'd be done.  Maybe the build guys can comment?

Thanks for the feedback!
