[Mono-list] TypeLoadException with ASP.NET

[Igor Shmukler]

Hello Marco,

Thank you for your email.

I don't have to use apache2. I could use any production quality web
server. The ability to handle load, is not even that important. We
need to run an embedded server.

If nginx+fastcgi is easy to setup, we would probably for it. Is this
easy to setup? I had problems with XSP2, but version 4 just works for
me on both Mac and Linux. Whatever it is, I am happy.

Sincerely,

Igor Shmukler
