A howto install Mono, xsp and mod_mono on SMEServer
==Mono on SME Server 7==
Mono is a cross platform, open source .NET development framework. See http://mono-project.com
With Mono you can run ASP.NET on many platforms including SMEServer.
Mono is also required to use iFolder http://www.ifolder.com
''Note to Windows users:''
Use PuTTY to get acces to your SMEServer Box, login as root.
Execute the steps hereunder by copy-pasting them to PuTTY - to paste in PuTTY right click with the mouse (not working under mc!).
To navigate around your server use MidnightComander - just type mc at the commandline.
== Installation ==
To setup a repository where yum can get Mono from issue following:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set mono repository \
Name 'Mono for rhel-4-i386 (stable)' \
BaseURL 'http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/rhel-4-i386/' \
EnableGroups no \
GPGCheck no \
Visible yes \
status disabled
This is equivalent to adding a .repo file, which doesn't work on SMEServer. The info above comes from
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/rhel-4-i386/mono.repo - the source of Mono.
It is the only place I have found xsp and mod_mono required to run ASP.NET pages.
install mono, xsp and mod_mono:
yum --enablerepo=mono install mono-complete xsp mod_mono
Restart the system:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Create a file in the SMEServer custom templates dir (create dir first)
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Create file:
pico 20LoadModule80mod_mono
Add following to the file:
#Template for mod_mono
LoadModule mono_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_mono.so
AddType application/x-asp-net .aspx
AddType application/x-asp-net .asmx
AddType application/x-asp-net .ashx
AddType application/x-asp-net .asax
AddType application/x-asp-net .ascx
AddType application/x-asp-net .soap
AddType application/x-asp-net .rem
AddType application/x-asp-net .axd
AddType application/x-asp-net .cs
AddType application/x-asp-net .config
AddType application/x-asp-net .Config
AddType application/x-asp-net .dll
DirectoryIndex index.aspx
DirectoryIndex Default.aspx
DirectoryIndex default.aspx
MonoServerPath /usr/bin/mod-mono-server2
Save and exit (ctrl-x)
Reparse the templates:
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
restart the webserver
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
You are done! Add a .aspx file to an iBay and point your browser to it.
You may have authorization issues if your ASP.NET code reads or writes files
- but that is another matter solved by granting some rights :)
