[Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts
Does CVS fix the Virtual Hosts problem yet? I want to host multiple Mono web sites, as opposed to merely virtual directories. Here is someone’s hack that supposedly fixes it. Just wondering if it’s in CVS yet. http://www.gotmono.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=ASPX;action="">

RE: [Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts
This is a patch for mod_mono 0.9 to enable ONE virtual host. Specifically, mod_mono 0.9 does NOT pass MonoServerRootDir from the Apache configuration file on to mod-mono-server.exe. This patch makes it actually pass it on so that a virtual host's configuration can work and pages can be served. There is still the issue of multiple virtual hosts. Trouble is, mod-mono-server.exe takes only one "-root" command, so if you have several virtual hosts in Apache and they all have their own root directory, then mod_mono launches mod-mono-server.exe with the root directory of the virtual host that is requested first. After that, the next virtual host requested by a browser "re-uses" the existing instance of mod-mono-server.exe and the original web site comes up instead of the one called for. Has anyone written code to fix this? Since it's not in CVS yet, if a patch is available can they post it so we can try it out? I would write it, but I'm afraid I know C# much better than I know how to write apache mods. Speaking of which, I heard of a project to expose Apache APIs to Mono. What about rewriting mod_mono using C# itself when it's time? Any takers? I have taken the patch written by Christopher McGinnis and improved it slightly (corrected some help strings and made it a little cleaner). I have attached it to this email. -Original Message- From: Jonathan Stowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 10:55 AM To: Andrew Arnott Cc: Mono-List Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts On Wed, 2004-05-12 at 17:30, Andrew Arnott wrote: > Does CVS fix the Virtual Hosts problem yet?

RE: [Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts
That makes a lot of sense. IIS doesn't have "dedicated ASP.NET" sites, but when an ASPX page is called for, ASP.NET kicks in and processes the page. However, session state must be tracked within a site, and each site (and some subdirectories) have web.config files. So I imagine ASP.NET (within IIS) "discovers" ASP.NET sites as they are called for, and caches them then. It seems we could eliminate perhaps most of the special Mono commands from the Apache configuration file. Maybe keep one line to enable the mono handler (perhaps at the site level). Just let the new mod_mono take a request for an individual page, look up the physical directory location, scan it for web.config files, and essentially configure itself on the fly, based on information on the virtual hosts and directories defined in the httpd.conf file. As for replacing PHP, we could run far with that idea if someone wrote a PHP.net compiler (isn't there already one out there?) that could plug into Mono. Then one could remove the traditional PHP interpreter, and all PHP code would magically become managed code that can call C# and other code. Ditto with Perl. -Original Message- From: Christopher McGinnis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 12:07 AM To: Andrew Arnott Subject: RE: [Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts I have been kicking around of taking a serious look at mod_mono and mod-mono-server/xsp.exe to provide better support.

RE: [Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts
Sounds like a really good goal to shoot for. I plan on getting started into researching what it's going to take to get mono compiled into apache as well as what changes need to be made to get ASP.NET to work properly from within it. As far as PHP goes I was just venting a little because all the people I work with only write PHP script and don't have a very good understanding of good programming structure which makes it hard when I try to do things the proper way. =) Christopher McGinnis Neopets Inc. -Original Message- From: Andrew Arnott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 9:21 AM To: Christopher McGinnis; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Mono-list] Mono Virtual Hosts That makes a lot of sense.
