[Mono-list] web.config location on Linux???

[Abe Gillespie]

If you're allowing Mono / XSP to autoconfig your ASP.Net settings then I
*believe* the root of the web app is in the location that an .aspx page is
first encountered.  It's very possible I'm wrong.  I pretty much strictly
run MVC sites which requires manual site configuration.  For more info
please thoroughly digest both:

http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET
http://www.mono-project.com/Mod_mono

They're both relevant since mod_mono is simply a wrapper around XSP and
exposes its services to Apache.  E.g. most of the configuration options that
are available to mod_mono are available to XSP.  There's also plenty of help
baked directly into XSP if you run it with "--help" from the command line.
