#28571: mod_mono is not going to work like this -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: vulcan_@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: mono | Port: mod_mono -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- just did the port upgrade apache2 reviewing the /opt/local/conf dir for any changes i saw that mod_mon.conf was present, but not used in the httpd.conf. I went looking for info on how to complete the install as apache could not serve a .aspx file succesfully. I see some .. mistakes? .. in the instructions to complete the installation manually {{{ post-install { 26 ui_msg "" 27 ui_msg "To finish the configuration of this Apache module, you must add" 28 ui_msg "the following (modulo site variations) to your httpd.conf file:" 29 ui_msg "" 30 ui_msg "AddType application/x-asp-net .aspx .ashx .asmx .ascx .asax .config .ascx" 31 ui_msg "LoadModule mono_module libexec/httpd/mod_mono.so" 32 ui_msg "MonoUnixSocket /tmp/mod_mono_server" 33 ui_msg {Alias /mono "/usr/share/doc/xsp/test"} 34 ui_msg "" 35 ui_msg "Then do the following:" 36 ui_msg "" 37 ui_msg "cd ${prefix}/share/doc/xsp/test" 38 ui_msg "mono ${prefix}/bin/mod-mono-server.exe --root . --applications /mono:." 39 ui_msg "" 40 ui_msg "Finally, restart apache (if running) and point a browser at:" 41 ui_msg "http://127.0.0.1/mono/index.aspx to test ASP page- serving ability" 42 ui_msg "" 43 } }}} 1. there is no xsp directory under share/doc 2. reading about the xsp port i see it is "a small web server that hosts the Mono System.Web classes". It is not a dependency, and i do not want it anyway .. i want mono to work with my apache2 server. 3. The xsp test code should be copied to the mono port so that there is a .Net test available without needing xsp to be installed first. 4. the .exe extension on the executable name tells me this was a cut-paste job from a Windows install page. 5. just figured out that the Alias definition inside {} is actually needed in the httpd conf file so that the URL in the Point a Browser At .. step works. This info should be mentioned so that people know this URL is only for testing the installation. Maybe change the Alias name to "mod_mono_test" so that the URL is the more obvious "mod_mono_test/index.aspx" ? so .. any suggestions on how i should really install and test mono would be great .. i will be fooling around with it so if i get anything that i can propose to improve the port i will. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28571> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
