[Mono-list] MVC hosting

[Doug]

May I ask what your apache config looks like?

I don't have any problem serving a default.aspx page using mod_mono (ie.
default.aspx, with a default.aspx.cs code behind file), but like I said,
when I drop my Global.asax (and all the other mvc application files) into
the folder it just tries to serve them directly; ie. /Home/Test returns a
404, not the test view that I expect. /Global.asax returns an error.

Ie. apache seems to be serving the actual files, and ignoring the routing
info that was defined in Global.asax.cs (now compiled and in
bin/MvcHelloWorld.dll).

Doug.
