Installing mod_mono on OS X

gistfile1.txt

This is one way to get mod_mono up with OS X (Lion), for experienced computer users, 
but inexperienced Apache users. Note, this is just if you're trying to get one project 
up and running quickly:

1. Apache is already installed. Don't worry about it.
2. Get mono for OS X: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/ (the SDK)
3. Get the latest source for mono_mod: http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mod_mono/

Extract the tar ball, go into the folder, and do this:
$ ./configure prefix=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.10.9 --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-apr-config=/usr/bin/apr-1-config

Note, you might need to change the "2.10.9" version.

$ make
$ sudo make install

Edit your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file:

#Replace: DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents" With:
DocumentRoot "/path/to/project"

#Replace: <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> With: 
<Directory "/path/to/project">

#Add:
LoadModule mono_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_mono.so
Include /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf

MonoAutoApplication disabled
AddHandler mono .aspx .ascx .asax .ashx .config .cs .asmx .axd
MonoApplications "/:/path/to/project"

#If you want SSI:
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .aspx
#And add the following to the options line inside <Directory "/path/to/project">
Options +Includes

#This allows you to do things like: 
<!--#include virtual = "/inc/whatever.aspx" -->
#and whatever.aspx can have code in it. Note, the default language is C#,
#so you'll need a @ Page directive if you're using VB, or edit your web.config.

To see if you made any typos:
$ sudo apachectl configtest

Now you'll have your '/path/to/project' running at http://localhost
