[Mono-list] Apache+mod_mono: Auto generated encryption keys not saved error

[James Wright]

   Thanks Uli, that works perfectly!

   The auto-generated keys are now being stored at: 
"/var/www/.mono/registry/"

   I've deleted the directory I created at 
"/etc/opt/novell/mono/registry" as it was just a test to see if it was 
going to write anything there! :-)


Thanks for your help,
James
