[Mono-aspnet-list] Running ASP.Net 4.5 MVC Application on Mono
Hi, I'm trying to get an Asp.Net 4.5 MVC app to run on mono and I'm getting the error shown bellow (also posted here). I get the same error in apache using mod_mono as in xsp4. I built mono, xsp, and mod_mono on the server from the latest tarball releases (simple ./configure && make && make install). Other Asp.Net applications run fine on the same server (targetting earlier runtimes). The server run Gentoo and I remove all mono, xsp, and mod_mono packages before building the source. I found several posts that suggest a bug in xsp (don't apply since I'm using latest tarball and also tried earlier versions) or mono loading the wrong framework version stack trace and exception message suggest is loading the right assemblies (most assemblies on the 4.5 directory are symlinks to 4.0). I did tried to run xsp.exe with mono ---runtime=v4.5 and it tells me it's not available, same for 4.0 but it is available and the and the exception shows it's using it. The application was built on Windows with Visual Studio but I also built on MonoDevelop (Xamarin) on Windows to target Mono. It does not use any external references except for PayPal's API Library but I used this same library on other applications that run on mono so that shouldn't be the problem. I'm trying to setup a parallel mono environment on a Linux desktop to compile it on Linux to see if it makes a difference (my distro's version are really outdated). Another thing I noticed is that Visual Studio copies all the Mvc and Razor, etc assemblies to the bin folder, if I delete them mono wines about not finding them even though there's Mono's implementation on the GAC (which I believe are built from the same source). Also in the Visual Studio generated Web.config the and other tags had a targetFramework="4.5" attribute, and I had to remove it cause mono wined about it (unrecognized attribute or something like that). Yet the same Web.config works fine in Mono under Windows. I think that's all I got, suggestions are appreciated.

Re: [Mono-aspnet-list] ASP.NET on Mono (Windows)
What framework version does your app targets? Does the DLL targets the same version? How did you start xsp? There's xsp4 for .NET 4 and xsp for .NET 2. I'm not sure if you can target 4.5 on mono on Windows as there's no xsp.exe on the 4.5 directory. You may have to copy it to the 4.5 dir and change the batch file to use it, that works on Linux, I'm not sure about Windows.

The symlinks where right for me with the XSP from git. I did run into this at some point when I downgraded to the tarball xsp. I finally got it partially working last night. I tried so much stuff I'm not sure what did it. I'm about to start from scratch to figure out what exactly was the problem. -- -- Fernando Rodriguez frodriguez.develo...@outlook.com ___ Mono-aspnet-list mailing list Mono-aspnet-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-aspnet-list

If you just run xsp4.exe on windows it will run under the .NET runtime. You need to load it with mono (ie. mono xsp.exe), that is what the batch file does. -- -- Fernando Rodriguez frodriguez.develo...@outlook.com ___ Mono-aspnet-list mailing list Mono-aspnet-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-aspnet-list

I could never get MVC5 to work on Mono but if you don't use any of the new features in MVC5 you can just rebuild your app on MonoDevelop referencing the System.Web.Mvc.dll version 4 from Microsoft and it should work, here's what I did to get it working: 1. Download and install MVC4 if you haven't already.\ 2. Open your VS2013 project in MonoDevelop on Linux and change the System.Web.Mvc reference to the one that ships with MS MVC4. Make sure the copy local checkbox it ticked. 3. Change the System.Web.WebPages.* references to the version 3.0.0 that comes with mono. I copied them from the GAC to a directory on my solution tree and added the reference from there checking copy local. On the latest version of MonoDevelop if you add it from the GAC or the framework directory and tick copy local it will copy a lot of stuff that will break your app. 4. Change both Web.config files so that all references to System.Web.Mvc use version 4.0.0.0 and all references to System.Web.WebPages use version 3.0.0.0. 5. Build and run the solutiion on MonoDevelop. It should work. When you scaffold an edit view with VS2013 it will add the css classes to the Html.EditorFor, MVC4 ignores it so the form controls are not formatted for bootstrap, my solution was to use jQuery to set the css class. Also VS2013 mvc template references site.css but the file is called Site.css, you need to fix this so it works right on XSP. The Web.config files that VS created for me are called Web, not web so you'll probably have to rename yours. > > 3) What do I need to do to get an ASP.NET solution created in MonoDevelop > to open in MS VS? (Hopefully this is the same solution as getting my MS VS > ASP.NET site to work in Mono/xsp4.) I created my solution in Visual Studio and it opens in both. I've been mostly working on Linux but if I need to work on VS I need to change the assembly references back. > 4) Any advice on where Mono might already have a Publish feature like MS VS > has in MonoDevelop?
