Re: [Mono-list] Guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a clean Ubuntu 8.10 Server machine
Hello, very nice guide. 4) Build Mono: Type: cd ~ Type: wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.4.tar.bz2 Type: tar -xpjf mono-2.4.tar.bz2 This will take a minute or so because it's a big file and you won't see anything on the screen because stuff isn't too chatty in the UNIX world. You will probably want to add v switch to turn on verbose output. It will then print name of every extracted file. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] Guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a clean Ubuntu 8.10 Server machine
Thanks! I'm thinking the official way to do it is probably create a file called mod_mono.load in /etc/apache2/mods-available that has: Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf MonoServerPath /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2 and then create the link in mods-enabled. Isn't there actually some sort of enable-mod script that does this for you too, rather than using the ln command directly? Would people prefer this? Thanks!!

What you do here is not the Apache way, and may scare people since they have to edit the apache2.conf which usually is a very large file. 7) Configure Mod_Mono with Apache Type: cd /etc/apache2 Type: pico apache2.conf Search for this section: # Include module configuration: Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf Add the following line under the above lines: Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf At the end of this file, add the following line: MonoServerPath /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2 Press CTRL+X to exit Pico, answer Yes to save your changes and press enter to use the same file name.

Since when one would disable mod_mono, MonoServerPath would likely throw an error or warning or at least be totally useless. Great work!

Re: [Mono-list] Guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a clean Ubuntu 8.10 Server machine
Ok I've updated my step 7 section, I think this is a lot better. 7) Configure Mod_Mono with Apache Type: cd /etc/apache2/mods-available/ Type: pico mod_mono.load This will create a new file, add the following lines to the file: Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf MonoServerPath /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2 Press CTRL+X to exit Pico, answer Yes to save your changes. Now we have to activate our new module. Type: a2enmod mod_mono Restart Apache by typing: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 8) Make sure it all works! ... Also I've changed all the tar commands to tar -xvpjf so the user can see what's going on g Also, *quick question* why doesn't the mod_mono.conf file just get built into the /mods-available directory in the first place, along with a mod_mono.load file? If this happened, I'd only need to tell users to enable the mod and boom they'd be done. Maybe the build guys can comment? Thanks for the feedback! Mike Mike Christensen wrote: Thanks!

[Mono-list] Guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a clean Ubuntu 8.10 Server machine
Hi guys - I've written a rough guide to installing Mono 2.4 on a totally clean fresh install of Ubuntu Server 8.10. This guide is geared towards people like me who don't really know a whole lot about Linux or Mono and are most likely coming from a Windows .NET world. For that reason, everything is spelled out pretty verbosely and I try not to take any shortcuts (like stringing a whole bunch of commands together with ampersands and stuff). I'd love to get some of the experts to review this, and perhaps a few people to try it out too if you have VMWare and can create a test machine quickly. I've tried this twice so far and both times I haven't ran into any major problems. Also, I'd like to convert this guide to HTML and post it up on a website somewhere, if anyone has any advice for me on this lemme know. For all you bloggers, this guide is totally public domain and you can post it wherever you'd like. Thanks!! -- *** Complete @!#$'ing Moron's Guide to Installing Mono 2.4 on Ubuntu Server 8.10: *** This is a step by step guide to installing Mono 2.4 and mod_mono on a fresh Ubuntu Server install. Let's begin. 1) Logon to machine so you see a command prompt. Type: sudo bash Enter your password, you should now be root. This will allow you to do whatever you want without typing sudo in front of every command. 2) Install all prequisits for Mono. Note you can put all packages on a single line, but if you're just starting out, you might want to install each one just to make sure it all goes well. If any package is already installed, just continue on. Depending on your system, you might already have some of these. Type: apt-get install build-essential Type: apt-get install pkg-config Type: apt-get install bison Type: apt-get install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev Type: apt-get install libpng12-dev Type: apt-get install libx11-dev Type: apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev Type: apt-get install libfreetype6-dev Type: apt-get install apache2 Type: apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev Type: apt-get install gettext 3) Download and build libgdiplus which is required for Mono to build. Type: cd ~ Type: wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.4.tar.bz2 You should now have the file libgdiplus-2.4.tar.bz2 in your ~/ directory Type: tar -xpjf libgdiplus-2.4.tar.bz2 This will decompress the tar file into its own directory, note you won't see any output) You should now have a directory called libgdiplus-2.4 Type: cd libgdiplus-2.4/ Type: ./configure You should not see any errors, but if you're missing any packages please install them and run ./configure again. Type: make Sometimes here I see some error about link something is not a valid libtool object and Error 1. I have no idea what causes this, but I can usually work around it by running apt-get update and ./configure again. Type: make install 4) Build Mono: Type: cd ~ Type: wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.4.tar.bz2 Type: tar -xpjf mono-2.4.tar.bz2 This will take a minute or so because it's a big file and you won't see anything on the screen because stuff isn't too chatty in the UNIX world. Type: cd mono-2.4/ Type: ./configure Type: make This will take a while - probably about 15 minutes or so. Type: make install When this is done, you should be able to type mono from the prompt and see mono options. This is a good sign. 5) Build xsp (this also includes mono-server which is used for Apache integration) Type: cd ~ Type: wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/xsp/xsp-2.4.tar.bz2 Type: tar -xpjf xsp-2.4.tar.bz2 Type: cd xsp-2.4/ Type: ./configure Type: make Type: make install 6) Build mod_mono so you can run Mono web sites on Apache Type: cd ~ Type: wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mod_mono/mod_mono-2.4.tar.bz2 Type: tar -xpjf mod_mono-2.4.tar.bz2 Type: cd mod_mono-2.4/ Type: ./configure Type: make Type: make install 7) Configure Mod_Mono with Apache Type: cd /etc/apache2 Type: pico apache2.conf Search for this section: # Include module configuration: Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf Add the following line under the above lines: Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf At the end of this file, add the following line: MonoServerPath /usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2 Press CTRL+X to exit Pico, answer Yes to save your changes and press enter to use the same file name. Restart Apache by typing: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 8) Make sure it all works! Type: cd /var/www This is your default website directory. By default there's just a temporary index.html file that says It works!, you can remove this. Type: rm * Now let's create a test ASPX page. Type: pico default.aspx If you know ASP.NET, you can write some code here. But for something dirt simple, just use: % Response.Write(Hello World!); % Save the file and exit Pico (CTRL+X) In your web browser, you should now be
