Hello, we're running mod_mono on a server for a few weeks and we have a lot of stability issues:
1/ every time we upload new code, we have to restart mod_mono, otherwise it doesn't work most of the time (the process is up but acccces to a pcage times out). Is it normal? 2/ Once we restart mod_mono, if we access an aspx page to quickly, mod_mono times out: the process is up, but the page is not displayed. I usually wait at least 30s 3/ Quite often, mod_mono seems to be down. The process is still up, but no pagedisplayed. using the mod_mono control panel to restart mod_mono doesn't work (503 errors), we have to stop Apache, kill mod_mono, restart Apache The server gets less than 1,000 hits a day coming from about 3 unique users. There are mono programs running on the same host: one every minutes, another one every hours (the same mono program with different arguments). How is your experience with mod_mono? is it reliable for you? So far we've copped with the consequences of the problem: automated restart of mod_mono every 3 hours, monitoring of mod_mono, etc. But I don't know how to go to the root cause of the problem: configuration issue, something wrong with my ASP.Net code, etc.? The mono version: mono: 1.2.6 mod_mono: 1.2.6 xsp: 1.2.6 Apache: 2.2.3 Hardware: 2 VMWare guests on a Dual Core Athlon 3400 CentOS 5 64bits, 1 CPU RAM: 256 MB and 1.8 GB The VMs are identical, beside the memory allocated. The one with 256 MB is not more or less unstable than the one with 1.8 GB Apache config file: include conf.d/mod_mono.conf Alias /radio /usr/share/mono/asp.net/apps/ozon-e-0.9 MonoApplicationsConfigFile ozon-e /etc/xsp/2.0/applications-available/ozon-e.web app MonoServerPath ozon-e "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server2" # Auto-restart after three hours. MonoAutoRestartMode Time MonoAutoRestartTime 00:03 <Location /radio> Allow from all Order allow,deny SetHandler mono MonoSetServerAlias ozon-e </Location> Any idea how I can find out more infromation about mod_mono being down? BTW, I can see this in the apache logs: [Fri Apr 25 22:20:51 2008] [error] Not running mod-mono-server.exe because no Mo noApplications, MonoApplicationsConfigFile or MonoApplicationConfigDir specified .
