[Mono-list] TypeLoadException with ASP.NET

[Igor Shmukler]

Hello Martin,

Thank you for your email.

I get nothing useful in the apache error log, at this time. My guess
is that the problem is related to apache2 configuration, as much as it
is related to Mono... Still, I need the thing working.
At one point, it was complaining about .mono/ access and problems with
keys. I created the .mono directory and keys are there, now.
Personally, I think that .mono is an issue to consider for whoever
packages the stuff. Still, does not appear to be affecting me.

To enable mono on apache2, I executed $sudo a2enmod mod_mono_auto

It is my understanding that module is enabled somewhere other than
apache2/sites-available. The reason being that if I edit
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf to include Mono with
debugging enabled, I get an error on apache2 restart:

[Mon Jan 12 20:59:12.223211 2015] [core:notice] [pid 7548:tid
140595311900544] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'
Listening on: /tmp/mod_mono_server_global
Root directory: /
Listening on: /tmp/mod_mono_server_global
Root directory: /
Error: There's already a server listening on /tmp/mod_mono_server_global

I tried to enable debugging to mods-available/mod_mono.conf before the
"Include /etc/mono-server2/mono-server2-hosts.conf" line. It did not
do anything either - nothing in the apache2 error log.

Debugging is enabled in web.config, so I get the stack trace. It is
not useful for my purposes, all line numbers are missing, i.e.:
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick (System.EventArgs e)
[0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent (System.String
eventArgument) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent
(System.String eventArgument) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

I am a bit at loss. Seems to be a trivial issue. Yet, I am confused.
Any relevant information - whether why line numbers are missing and
how to have those displayed, and/or - how do I trace my TypeLoad
errors down, would be extremely helpful.

Sincerely,

Igor Shmukler
