Hi all,
Whenever I do a logrotate, it seems my apache2 stops logging though

If I manually do a /etc/init.d/apache2 restart the logging resumes.
What can I do?
I had this problem. I think the problem is that Apache logs to an inode 
rather than a filename, so when the files moves apache loses it and 
can't log to it any more. Or something like that. I'm not sure really, 
but the solution is to add this line to your apache logrotate config file:

copytruncate
This tells logrotate to make a copy of the file then then just truncate 
the original, so the file that apache is logging to never goes away. 
This is instead of its usual behaviour of moving the file and touching a 
new one. Works like a charm for me.

Hope this helps.

[gentoo-user] EPSON Stylus C20SX could not workable correctly on gentoo box.

[Wang Penghui]

Hi, all:
I have a EPSON Stylus C20SX printer and want to install on a gentoo box.
The follow is what i have done:

I follow the introdution in gentoo forum:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-82685-highlight-epson+stylus+c62.html

1. Uninstall all the packages printing related.
 # emerge -C cups formatic formatic-db postscript psutils
2. Reinstall all packages printing related and gimp-print
 # USE="cups ppds" emerge gimp-print
3. Start the cups daemon
 # /etc/init.d/cups start
4. Configure the printer via http://localhost:631
	 Add printer-->Device(Parallel Port#1
(EPSON))-->MAKE(EPSON)-->Model(EPSON Stylus C20SX-CUPS + Gimp-Print
v4.2.6(en))-->Done
5. Try to print some meterial such as the test page. Then i found it will
take a long time to stay in the follow status:

 Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
 "Starting ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1..."
 Device URI: epson:/dev/lp0
   
   After several seconds. the processing would continue. But it would stop in
another status again:
 Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
 "Printing page 0, 13%"
 Device URI: epson:/dev/lp0

Then it will never go on processing any more.

There is another printer(HP laserjet 3015) in the same machine. And it works
smoothly without any problems. So i think the cups daemon is configured
correctly.

I am a newbie with linux printing system. I am not clearly about that.

My OS:

Gentoo Linux
Cups cups-1.1.21_rc2
ghostscript 7.07.1
gimp-print gimp-print-4.2.6

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Just my experience. Using snort (working as a prelude-sensor) and
prelude-lml and prelude-nids as IDS-sensors.
AIDE is a different animal - manage checksums, changes in files etc.
Prelude can use external sensors (as its own) and all of them report to
prelude-manager. Could also check snort with inline-USE-flag.
Think it's better to use all three. All are in Portage.

Could be anything. Maybe Firefox is caching stuff , maybe it isn't. Maybe

Do yourself a favor and install a caching DNS server on your machine, put
"nameserver 127.0.0.1" in /etc/resolv.conf and be happy with faster DNS
lookups. There is probably nothing wrong with your ISP's DNS server.

Several other people on the list, included myself, had the same problem

"courier-authlib"; deleting /etc/init.d/authdaemond and removing it from
rc-update should solve the problem.

After kernel boot-up, I've been seeing some messages from init

2. After "Caching service dependencies...", there is "Cannot add

Well, it gets complicated, really quickly.  Before going down that
route, does performing a cat of this file produce this same CPU usage
issue?  If not, it may be possible to greatly optimize the existing
programs, or write a much slimmer version with only the subset of
functionality you need, and get the benefit you're looking for, without
the costs of learning all of the direct kernel interactions you need to
get this information via other means.

Also, if the issue is more one of prioritization rather than immediacy
of return, one could potentially write into the program some delays to
provide even more niceness than invoking the command with nice -19.

True, it doesn't matter for this.  Look to the end of this response if

Or, more exactly, xinetd is a single daemon process listening to
potentially dozens or hundreds of ports, each with a different service
it represents.  Without xinetd, all of those ports would need to have
separate daemons listening to them, in order to all be active.

At the low end.

At the high end, the bad thing is that inetd daemons, in general, have
no load recognition.  They have no concept of what resources the daemons
for which they are fronting require, and therefore have no concept of
when enough is enough.  Because of this and the lack of caching, any
complex services run out of xinetd are easy potential DoS attack target
points.

Imap has the benefit of maintaining persistent connections after it has
started.  Pop3, on the other hand, usually does not.  Admittedly, this
is a client difference, but virtually all clients I've utilized are
configured along these lines.

As such, pop3 is *not* my idea of a good xinetd service.  Back when I
ran an overloaded pop/imap server, switching these two to standalone
mode got me a near-instant call from my boss's boss, asking what I did
to fix the email server.  (Of course, as they'd *really* overloaded that
sucker, and so it wasn't really fixed.  It just took it from about 130%
max load to 110% max load.  The gains would've been more substantial,
except the overload was only on the mail store itself; the main
filesystem was fine.  This server was running around 99.9% pop3, 0.1%
imap.)

Don't get me started about telnet; just use ssh, disable/remove telnet,
and we can be happy.  Or, lie to me, and claim that you did, and I can,
at least, be happy.  Thank you.


Oh, and I would also recommend courier or cyrus.  Note that Cyrus'
format is (or at least, was, back when I ran a user mail server) similar
to maildir, except that the message store is held under the control of
the system imap/pop server, and is indexed several ways.  The list of
mailboxes is also indexed.  As such, it scales marvelously well, under
most circumstances.

An inetd daemon (such as xinetd) is primarily useful for simplifying its
client programs.  Those daemons launched out of inetd do not need any
complex daemon code, or for that matter, any daemon code at all.

When a connection comes in to a port that inetd, it accepts the command,
and forks, remaps the connection to feed into the forked process's
standard input, and if it's a stream connection, remaps the forked
process's standard output back into the connection.  It then execs the
associated command, which needs no complicated protocol handling
capabilities to handle the networked connections.  One could, for
example, use inetd to invoke cat or date, and it'd work just fine.
(Don't do this.  inetd servers have equivalents built into them, for
both efficiency and security reasons.)

Once the connection is done, the client exits, and the daemon server
exits.  Inetd had been uninvolved since the fork, and couldn't care less
that the connection has closed.  (Unless, of course, it was a datagram
connection with the 'wait' flag.  I

  Now we're at the clutching-at-straws stage.  Have you tried compiling
the sound driver into the kernel, rather than building it as a module?
This should at least avoid the modprobe stage.

Just because it is currently installed does not automatically make it a 
package considered by emerge -pet world.  For that to happen a package but 
either be in the world file or be a dependency of a package in the world 
file.

emerge -C package will not only uninstall a package but also remove it from 
the world file.

Well, you certainly fixed the problem, even if we didn't find it.

Sounds to me like alsa-driver was in your world file.

:P  Didn't mean to sound too-smart-for-my-own-good there.  Just, I've seen 
issues like those mentioned before.

Well, you only want programs in world that you use directly; any deps will 
be pulled in automatically.  So, if you don't use alsa-jack directly, take 
it out of world.

Um, don't change this at all.  You should 
change /etc/portage/profiles/virtuals.

A line like the above is in /usr/portage/profiles/base/virtuals.

> Looking around in virtuals I also found this line:

The relevant line for me is:
virtual/linux-sources   sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
from /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/virtuals

Looks good to me.  Just make sure you put it in the right file.

That's the default.  Just like gentoo-sources (not gentoo-dev-sources) is 
the default kernel.  When 2.6 becomes the default, it will be my unmasking 
those versions of the kernel as gentoo-sources, not by changing this line 
in everyone's profile.

Sure, that's fine.  Something like:
virtual/kernel sys-kernel/linux26-headers

I wouldn't mess with the virtual file in /var/cache it's probably not 
really user-servicable. :)

As man portage says (but not too clearly) you can override your current 
profile's virtuals with /etc/portage/profiles/virtuals; that's what you 
should edit/create.  Virtuals only affects what actual package portage 
chooses for a virtual when nothing installed currently provides that 
virtual, however this can subtley interfere with emerge -e (since not is 
considered installed, nothing can provide the virtual) and emerge XXX YYY 
when XXX depends on a virtual provided by YYY and YYY is not the default 
provider.

> virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources
> virtual/os-headers sys-kernel/linux26-headers

Fine.

> virtual/alsa media-sound/gentoo-dev-sources

Um, I'm pretty sure you want sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources and not 
media-sound/gentoo-dev-sources (which doesn't exist).

Those four lines can then be added to /etc/portage/profiles/virtuals

what processor?
what do you need this distro to do?
what is wrong with gentoo?
will it have a hard drive?
do you want the os to network boot, boot from hard drive, boot from
floppy? boot from CF?
how much RAM will it have?

sorry but your question is a ittle ill-defined!

[gentoo-user] A smart Internet gateway

[Colin]

I've got a problem that I think Gentoo can solve...
I'm stuck behind dial-up, but with some Windows tricks (Internet 
Connection Sharing), I've managed to get my 56k connection shared over a 
home network.  However, my brother is always complaining that he can't 
get the PlayStation 2 online because my computer is always hogging the 
Internet connection.  He just unscrews the antennas from my wireless 
AP/router (D-Link DI-614+) to disconnect me, which is a pain in the 
ASCII when I'm trying to download massive files (like Gentoo CD's).

I'd like to use Gentoo and a spare Pentium-based computer to make a 
really smart Internet gateway, that should throttle and prioritize 
bandwidth.  Examples:
- Some traffic (like Gaim's or Firefox's) is more important than others 
(like Azureus's), so Azureus can use whatever bandwidth Gaim and Firefox 
don't use.
- The PlayStation 2, when connected, should always take top priority 
over any other clients' traffic.

Also, it should do these other important tasks:
- Not require any user intervention; it should just sit there and do 
its job.  If it needs to be configured, it should be able to be used 
over the Internet (sorta like Remote Desktop for Linux).
- Automatically connect to the Internet on boot, and reconnect whenever 
disconnected.
- Defend itself (anti-virus and firewall) and take care of itself 
(delete temporary files, defragment, check disk for errors) in the 
background.
- Log and report errors (like connection problems, SMART errors or fan 
failures, for example).
- Windows PC's, Linux PC's and Macs (OS 9.2.2 and up) should be able to 
coexist peacefully (share the Internet and communicate with one and other).
- It would be nice if it could also be a print server, since it will be 
always on anyway.

It will plug directly into the AP/router (like another computer), so it 
will just be another node to my home network, like things are now.  
Would this work, or would my AP/router just get in the way?

sorry for the reply to my own post, but i need some more advice...

i'll need a http server and a db in my SBC, something small but
powerfull. what do you recommend ???

don't forget SBC don't have harddrives, they tend to hava flash disks
instead, and the distro and tools that i need have to be the smallest
possible (mysql is very big no??).

The server is actually hosted remotely, I should have mentioned that.
After a little more experimentation, both my website and my host's
website have this same behavior of responding right away during a
continuous Firefox browsing session, but taking a long time to "look
up" after a break.  cnn.com responds right away, even after a break. 
It sounds like I need to contact my host.  Could this be an issue with
their DNS server?

try
# tracepath www.your.server
# ping -c5 www.your.server
while browsing and after a while.
If the results are the same it's a dns problem (it's not counted in 
connection timings)
if not there must be some "keepalive" stuff that make you faster when 
browsing.

Have you tried clearing the cache?  This will cause it to get the

The server is actually hosted remotely, I should have mentioned that.

After a little more experimentation, both my website and my host's
website have this same behavior of responding right away during a
continuous Firefox browsing session, but taking a long time to "look
up" after a break.  cnn.com responds right away, even after a break. 
It sounds like I need to contact my host.  Could this be an issue with
their DNS server?

I found the solution from the forums, it is a a64 specific sandbox
issue. I need -sandbox in the FEATURES flag. Wonder why it wasn't
documented in the handbook.

Thanks a lot for everyone that helped.

That make things even worse, bootstrap fails with the same error, but
this time,  while compiling gettext.

I've posted this problem to the a64 list, and searched the forum. I
can see some people are having the same problem, but there isn't yet a
solution.

That was a typo in the email, not the actual make.conf.

The CFLAGS is now set to -O2, and still won't bootstrap.

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS"

The left curly brace must be matched by a right curly brace. Make it

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Does it work now ?

No, this is not the precompiled version of OO, I'm building OO from sources.

True, Opera is always there, but here I know it's a precompiled package and

Re: [gentoo-user] Looking up... Connecting... Waiting... Transferring

[Ivan Yosifov]

It could have to with a lot of stuff. It is possible that FF has some
DNS cache that gets flushed , it also almost certain ( don't trust me,
my ISP has, I guess it is common :) ) that your ISP has a DNS cache and
it is possible that other users queries have flushed yours. You can ask
mozilla-devs and your ISP , however this won't help for users of other
ISPs and other browsers :) You are tweaking the server , right ? So ,
place a machine as close to it as possible ( put a second lan-card in
the server , and connect the two machines) , alias the server
in /etc/hosts so no DNS lookup is done and benchmark this setup. I think
such a setup minimizes random network factors , so a latency is almost
sure to be in the server and not *OUT THERE* :) Just my 2c.

What about the fact that the DNS lookup takes much longer if I haven't
clicked on anything for a little bit?  Is that because of some type of
DNS caching in the browser?  Could this have anything to do with my

The time needed to lookup is probably spend running a DNS lookup , I
doubt changes to your apache can affect this in any way. There is always
a latency associated with the network ( especially on a non-LAN ) , so
don't try to get it faster that light :) For example , measure the ping
round-trip time to the dns and to the server. You probably can't get any
faster than the sum of the two times.

You can't do a great deal about lookup times for your site's visitors as 
it's the time it takes their DNS server to resolve your name into an IP 
address.  You can speed it up for yourself by either adding entries into 
/etc/hosts or installing a caching DNS proxy.  I use net-dns/djbdns and 
it seems to work well.

The problem is emerge is refusing to make binaries, so the above won't work. I 
am making a new set of system binaries on another machine and will try emerge 
-eK system and hope that fixes the problem.  It is really wierd, as far as I 
can tell everything is working correctly except emerge.

I think that perhaps OOo uses a loader which sets a custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I 
run 64-bit
amd64, so I have to use openoffice-bin. It has, among other things, a complete 
Python
distribution in it. This is one of the things which becomes "broken" on my 
system. I
haven't run it in a while, but IIRC, it depended on something like 
libfoo.so.1.2.3 where
I had libfoo.so.1.2.7 (not actual numbers).

I have needed revdep-rebuild to rebuild some things in the past and it
has (thankfully) never suggested OO.o.  You mention -ximian; perhaps
that is the key difference or perhaps at that time you had OO.o
binary.  I have always compiled it from source; indeed I only use
binaries when sources are not available, e.g., nvidia.

So both of these programs likely share a common weirdness factor of
having some binary components alongside some compiled components
(again, IANAP, this is my impression from working with them in the
past).
I can't comment on any weirdness in OO.o or confirm/deny that it
has binary components.  But I can say that just having OO.o emerged
(from sources) does not by itself cause revdep-rebuild to complain.
I have OO.o and just now (right after a sync) tried revdep-rebuild and
it found nothing to do.
I understand that, but on the other hand, nothing is apparently broken 
on your system requiring a rebuild in the first place. In my experience, 
if a rebuild has already been performed to fix actually broken stuff 
(this may be the defining factor), and OO.o is present (usually as a 
binary, but I have also compiled it from source, but I use OO.o-ximian, 
so maybe that's it as well), OO.o will always come up on the "check" 
rebuild (the second one you do to make sure that everything got done on 
the first one). Since it was already present in the first, "real" 
rebuild, I don't do it again, and consider the first rebuild successful 
and complete (as OO.o works fine anyway and was never apparently truly 
"broken" at all-- again, in my experience, and I don't use OO.o that 
heavily, so it might have been broken in a way I wasn't aware of). But 
after that first rebuild, the only thing that actually appears in the 
list of potential rebuilds is OO.o (I don't have opera, either), and 
nothing else, ad infinitum (until I break something else, at least).

I wouldn't expect it to come up if a revdep-rebuild was run and found 
nothing otherwise wrong (that would be a real bug). I didn't mean to 
imply that I did, sorry.

I always pay attention to posts involving revdep-rebuild, since I
depend  on it working correctly.

Hi,

 I have this exact problem with the Azureus package.  It's a binary (java)

have the gtk version installed and vice-versa.  Very odd.  Only binary

I can't comment on any weirdness in OO.o or confirm/deny that it
has binary components.  But I can say that just having OO.o emerged
(from sources) does not by itself cause revdep-rebuild to complain.
I have OO.o and just now (right after a sync) tried revdep-rebuild and
it found nothing to do.

I always pay attention to posts involving revdep-rebuild, since I
depend  on it working correctly.

Re: [gentoo-user] partly broken emerge.

If you reinstall packages like glibc or gcc it always wise todo the 
following thing:

emerge -ev system
emerge --depclean system
emerge -ev system
revdep-rebuild
Step 2 and 3 may not be neccessary. I found that some days ago in a

In that thread has also benn then recommendation to do a emerge -e world 
twice. But I did not do that.

At the top of the screen, it should tell you the number of new messages, the 
number of visible messages and the total number of messages.  If your total

I'm in need of updating my scsi dvd-drive (pioneer 305S) with a new 
firmware. The flash updater needs to be run from dos but the suggested 
bootdisk is a windows millenium bootdisk for my scsi card driver. The .exe

which I don't have. I tried wine but that doesn't seem to give access to

You see that note at the beginning of the rebuild?

And then notice the two packages that are being rebuilt:

[ebuild   R   ] net-www/opera-7.54-r3  +spell -static 0 kB

I think (and I must stress "think") that this is an unavoidable conflict 
between revdep-rebuild and certain "special" programs.

Opera is, of course, ultimately a binary that you're extracting rather 
than compiling it from source in the first place, and I see it's using 
the shared library build. So here we have binary components and compiled 
(shared) libraries.

OO.o is just "weird" (for want of a better word); the difficulty of 
compiling it, in addition to the length of compile, is the reason the 
binary is available in Portage. I suspect that the difficulty of 
compiling it is the issue in this case, because it seems quite likely to 
me that one of the "weirdnesses" could well be binary components 
squirreled away in that extremely long compile, which revdep-rebuild 
doesn't know how to (or is not built to) deal with.

So both of these programs likely share a common weirdness factor of 
having some binary components alongside some compiled components (again, 
IANAP, this is my impression from working with them in the past).

In any case, in my experience, OO.o and Opera are not broken (and if 
they were, you've already fixed them, since you ran revdep-rebuild once 
already).

What I usually do in this case is look at the list and if these are the 
only two programs in it, head over to the /root folder and delete the 
revdep-rebuild files (listed at the end of the output), because I don't 
need to run it again (everything *really* broken has been fixed).

If there are other programs in the list, I re-emerge them manually, then 
dump the revdep-rebuild files, since I at least am not going to rebuild 
OO.o for 6-12 hours for no reason, and afaIcs, revdep-rebuild is always 
going to "see" them as needing rebuilding whether this is in fact true 
or not. I believe this to be because of the unusual status of these 
programs rather than an issue with revdep-rebuild itself, and I assume 
it cannot be "fixed" without causing other issues. Since these are two 
pretty popular programs, and surely the devs must have seen this happen 
on their own systems (and been annoyed by it), I can't believe that no 
one has ever looked into seeing if this behaviour can be changed without 
major destruction to revdep-rebuild's normal function. Perhaps I'm 
putting too much faith in the dev team (is that possible?), but you 
could also check bugs.gentoo.org and see if anything related to this is 
listed, and what the response is.

HTH,

Hi,
   OK, there was still a copy of alsa-driver on the system for some
reason. emerge -C alsa-driver removed it. Now alsa-driver no longer
shows up in emerge -pet world so I think I found the problem. Agree?

   Thanks for your pointers. If I'm on the wrong track please let me know!

Cheers,
Mark

You can, but not with emerge. If you do "emerge /path/to/ebuild merge" it
will carry on where it left off.

Remove the config files for /etc after unmerging, emerge -C doesn't touch
these. To be certain, you could use --noconfmem when re-emerging them.

I can't recall if I've seen it on this 100% ~x86 system, I think I have,
but it's definitely happened on my ~amd64 setup, so it's not caused by
mixing testing and stable ebuilds.

Prey tell, oh master, what is the solution? ;-)

Do I really want to remove anything from world? Or do I want to adjust
what the system thinks supplies things using virtuals? That seems more
correct to me.

Looking at /var/cache/edb/virtuals it looks like the system really
believes that it needs alsa-driver to get alsa. How do I properly
change this to tell it alsa is in the kernel?

virtual/alsa media-sound/alsa-driver

Looking around in virtuals I also found this line:

virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/aa-sources

Since we now run gentoo-dev-sources it seems I should change this
line, and if that's true then I know the syntax for the alsa-driver
problem also. Is this correct?

virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources
virtual/alsa sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources

And then further, why is the entry for headers pointing to
linux-headers instead of linux26-headers?

virtual/kernel sys-kernel/linux-headers

gandalf root # qpkg -I | grep headers
media-sound/alsa-headers *
sys-kernel/linux26-headers *
gandalf root #

Seems that possibly I should change that also?

None of this seems like magic. Portage/emerge is really very sensible,
but I don't want to make too many changes here. Maybe there's a Gentoo
docs page that talks more about these changes? Since virtuals is small
I'm attaching a proposed version with 4 edits:

Try removing cups from package.mask, setting -cups in make.conf and then

emerge --newuse world 

this should rebuild all the packages that have optional cups support in their 
USE flags without cups support (note: this might be a *long* list, and among 
them there might be very large programs).
After this, you will probably be able to emerge -C cups.

When i upgraded to 2.6.10 i realised than /dev/sda1 was missing.
After several tries i fixed it with a symlink like this:

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild will allways rebuild OO

Hi,

When I run a revdep-rebuild it will allways rebuild OO (I'm using the standard 
OO ebuild, not any binary version).

Here is the output of 'revdep-rebuild --pretend --verbose':

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run revdep-rebuild.

Someone who has a clue why revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild OO (even if it just 
just rebuilt a few minutes ago)?

"bg", "fg", "wait", and so on work only in the bash session the pertain 
to.

In linux, processes usually can't wade across whole system... You have 
to instruct them in advance.

To kill father process (xterm) without loosing forked ones they (sons) 
should have started with nohup.

Another option to take in consideration is screen, again you have to 
start it at first, and then start longer processes inside it.

Well, I suppose that is ambiguous.  From what I understand, packages above 
will be installed after and those below would be emerged before.  A 
dependency (not RDEPEND) has to be installed before it's dependent.  
[Example below]


Also, a dependency is intended one more space than it's dependent.  World 
packages are at normal intendation.
[Example below]

E.g. alsa-utils will be installed after dev-util/dialog.

E.g. media-plugins/alsa-jack (a world package) needs meda-libs/alsa-lib 
needs media-sound/alsadriver they are installed in the reverse order.

So, now we know which package needs to be removed from world.  If you need 
help editing your world file, please ask.  If this package is not in your 
world file, and you need more help, please follow-up with that 
information.  If you do want alsa, but want it provided by the kernel 
sources, we may have to twiddle your virtuals, but I still know the 
solution.

how about 'control-z' to suspend it, then 'bg' to restart it in background ?
i don't know if subsequently killing the Bash process will kill the job too.

there's also the possibility of going to another raw console
with 'control-alt-F2' & doing what you want outside X there,
then returning with 'control-alt-F7'.

these are HTH suggestions:
i would be pleased to be further enlightened by others (smile).

If your emerge is 'emerge -e world' (or 'system') you can cancel the
emerging process and resume it with emerge --resume.

But if it is just a single large package (like OOo) you cannot resume it
AFAICT.

have a look at the masked mod_mono-1.0.5-r1. This comes up with a
more self-descriptive module config (including examples)

after a recent --sync you shall have the following file:

/usr/portage/www-apache/mod_mono/files/1.0.5-r1/70_mod_mono.conf

that gets installed when you emerge =www-apache/mod_mono-1.0.5-r1.
Take special note at .conf file line 14. Please note, this is 
a masked ebuild (for testing/bug-fixing).

[gentoo-user] Apache/mod_mono... maybe a little OT..but it is running on gentoo :)

[Reno Romanin]

I was working on getting mod_mono setup to run on vhosts a while back, got
it all running, and had some "issues" with server hardware before I could
get a decent backup. I've been thinking about this for a while now and I
have a couple of questions.

1. Can mod_mono be configured like mod_php? What I mean is, can I set
mod_mono up to have apache parse asp.net stuff anywhere I might have a web
accessible directory? Just as apache will parse any php code no matter where
it is accessed and requires no special setup on any vhosts?

2. IF this is possible, is there any documentation anywhere that puts it in
clear terms? I have googled for several things, and all the docs I come up
with seem to have gaps, and I can never get things to work quite right.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

TIA
