[Mono-list] MVC hosting

Mon May 9 11:29:40 EDT 2011

Robert - yep, that's soooo right.  Sorry, I totally forgot that necessary
step ... haven't used AutoConf in years.

Doug - my conf looks like:

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80>
  MonoAutoApplication disabled
  MonoServerPath "/usr/local/mono/2.10.2/bin/mod-mono-server4"
  MonoApplications "/:/var/www/html"
  <Location "/">
      Options FollowSymLinks
      Allow from all
      Order allow,deny
      SetHandler mono
  </Location>
</VirtualHost>

You can find much more info about it at http://www.mono-project.com/Mod_mono
