ASP.NET app on Apache Mono Ubuntu compiler error as log4net is unable to be found

  • 772

I'm trying to get a vulnerable practice ASP.NET web application (WebGoat.NET) installed on Apache Mono on Ubuntu. I've followed this guide and it all went smoothly; however, whenever I try to run the app I get this error:

The type or namespace name `log4net' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Log4net.dll is in the lib folder of the application directory. It's also in the /usr/lib/mono/gac directory. I'm not sure where else it needs to be. Any suggestions? Thanks!

apache-2.2

  1. Put in the bin/ folder of your web application?

  2. I also followed that guide and received the log4net could not be found error. To fix it I followed the steps in the official readme under the heading How To Build And Run under Mac OS X and Linux.

    After following this guide, I did the following as per the readme:

    • Installed sqlite3 using: apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
    • cd into WebGoat root directory (e.g. cd /var/www/webgoat-net/) and run xbuild
    • Installed xsp4 using: apt-get install mono-xsp4
    • cd into WebGoat project (e.g. cd /var/www/webgoat-net/WebGoat/) and run: xsp4
    • Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080
    • if you see WebGoat home page click on 'Set Up Database'

    • Fill in the database form:

      Data Provider: Sqlite

      Data File Path: /var/www/webgoat-net/sqlite3/webgoat.db

      Client Executable: /usr/bin/sqlite3

      and click 'Rebuild Database'.
