Mono: application not running when web.config in subfolder

  • 772

I run ASP.NET on Mono.

I wanted to run blogengine:
http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/

I downloaded, put it in /var/www/blogengine, on the console went to /var/www/blogengine and started xsp2.

I went to http://localhost:8080, and it ran without problems.

Then I stopped xsp2, went to /var/www and started xsp2.

I went to http://localhost:8080/blogengine

It ended with a strange error:

The section can't be defined in this configuration file (the allowed definition context is 'MachineToApplication'). (/var/www/blogengine/Web.Config line 9)

The problem seems to be that it stops working as soon as the xsp2 root folder is anything else than the application root folder...

Do I have to config anything? Or what else is wrong?

linux asp.net mono xsp2

  1. This is expected behaviour. You must run xsp in the root of your web application or specific a path to be root.

    For example...

    xsp2 --root /var/www/blogengine
