Hi! I've installed Mono 5.18 (using msi installer). But the problem is the mod_mono.so & mod_mono.conf are missing from the installation. So I'm unable to configure Apache 2.4 (64Bits) to load mod_mono module.

My question is, how can I get those files or how can I run mod_mono with Apache 2.4 (64Bits) on Windows (64Bits)?

Well, I've already checked that link but they've only 32bits version of mod_mono for Apache 2.2. But something I found the mod_mono.so (64bits) and created an mod_mono.conf file and included it to httpd.conf. But when I've run an aspx file it gave me a 503 Service Unavailable error. Actually I don't know if mod_mono is working or not. And I want to run mod_mono for whole not only from a specific folder like "mydomain.com/mono/" which is described everywhere in the Internet.

Actually I've not used Linux before. So it will be a problem for me to switch to Linux now. But I need to run mod_mono somehow on Windows. There is a module exists which is mod_aspdotnet but it supports Apache 2.2 only. For now can you tell me why the aspx file giving a Error 503.

503 is the error that asp.net gives when apache is up but mono isn't working.

 

Maybe Wolstech, as the resident windows expert, has some ideas. This whole thing is kind of making me chuckle though because asp.net is a windows thing, and mono was made to run this windows only thing on Linux, and now you're running this thing on Windows that was designed to run Windows technology on Linux. It reminds me of plugging an AC to DC adapter into the wall, and then hooking a DC to AC power inverter to it.

The Apache Mono plug-in is not available for Windows to my knowledge. It might be possible to build it for Windows using the source since Apache and Mono are both open source, but that's beyond my capability.

 

There's no good reason to use Mono on Windows anyway... it's entire purpose is to simulate asp.net. You have access to real asp.net on Windows, so the entire endeavor is pointless...

 

I'd suggest you install IIS and ASP.Net, and call it a day. All Windows Server 2008 R2+, and most versions of Windows 7, 8.x, and Windows 10 (basically any that's not the "Home" version) include it built in as an optional feature, you just have to turn it on. (Home versions require you to buy the Pro upgrade). Be aware you have to install IIS first, then go back for a second round and add the ASP.net web services after installing IIS.

I know but to do it I need to change everything in my websites as I'm running 7 Virtual Host. For example, when I'm including a file in PHP. But I need to run ASP.NET on Windows for college project. My project is to build a website in PHP, but for some specific pages use ASP.NET. My college also suggests to use Linux but I thought I'm already running an Apache server on Windows why not complete the project on the same server instead of installing Linux on my computer. Somehow I've found a Windows (64bits) version of mod_mono.so from a forum (a user on the forum built a x86 & x64 versions for Windows using msvc). So I've downloaded it and loaded with httpd & it has been loaded successfully. But now I'm getting a 503 Service Unavailable error on aspx pages. But when I visit /mono/ directory which is the control panel of mod_mono which is loaded using SetHandler mono-ctrl, I can see the contents. But the other, for example, I've created a simple aspx page on / (http://localhost/test.aspx) to check if mod_mono is working or not, the aspx page is showing a 503 Service Unavailable error.

Here is the Apache error.log:

Do you have Mono itself installed, and does it work if used outside of Apache? That error is saying it can't start Mono to run the script.

Posted

Okay! I've solved it by creating a mod-mono-server4.bat file in /bin directory and changing MonoServerPath to "C:\Program files\Mono\bin\mod-mono-server4.bat" but now I can visit the control panel of mod_mono. As I can now use the mod_mono control panel I've started the mod_mono server which was labelled as default. But now I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error when I visit a file "localhost/hello.aspx". But the file is working fine when I run "xsp4 --port 9000" and visit localhost:9000/hello.aspx.

MonoListenPort 80

I think this needs to be changed to 2000. The error log shows Apache trying to connect to Mono on port 2000, but these settings imply Mono would start on port 80 (and fail since 80 is occupied by Apache).

Posted

Okay! I've changed the port to 2000. Now I'm getting 503 Service Unavailable. Here is the error log:

I think apache couldn't connect to mod_mono using port 2000. But I can't figure out why!

Have you tried manually starting Mono on port 2000, leaving it running in the background, verifying you can reach 127.0.0.1:2000, then restarting Apache while Mono is already running and testing through Apache?
