AjaxPro in Mono

by Miguel de Icaza

Michael Schwarz has a tutorial for Windows users that are using the Mono VMware image on how to run their ASP.NET and AjaxPro applications on Mono.

The tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to move your files from Windows to Linux and accessing it from there.

At the end of the article, he focuses on running the application with XSP, I left a comment on how to run it with Apache:

Running xsp in a console is similar to running Microsoft "Cassini" server, it is a small web server, and it is not very powerful.

The VMWare image comes with both the small server, and Apache integration (which would be equivalent to running your ASP.NET with IIS on the Windows world).

To run your applications with Apache, instead of xsp, just put your whole ASP.NET application in the /srv/www/htdocs directory.

To go there, just open the file manager, type Control-L, that will open the location bar, and enter /srv/www/htdocs

Copy the files there, and you are done, say you the directory MyWeb20App in /srv/www/htdocs, now you can browse to that location by going to:

http://localhost/MyWeb20App
