[Mono-list] System.Web.Security.Membership causes an exception on mono platform

Sun Jan 18 00:17:34 UTC 2015

Hi Olli,

Your MonoApplications line is:
   MonoApplications boacommander "/boacommander:/var/www/html/boacommander"

So there is no ASP.NET application configured for /, which is the error you
are seeing.
A possible fix is to change that to read:
  MonoApplications boacommander "/:/var/www/html/boacommander"

Or set up something else on / that just redirects to /boacommander.
