Describes how to show ASP.NET-sites under Apache HTTP Server by using Mod_Mono.

From Mod_Mono's site:

  "Mod_Mono is an Apache 2.0/2.2 module that provides ASP.NET support for the web's favorite server, Apache (https://httpd.apache.org/)."

Warning: The Apache module mod-mono along with the web server xsp (which mod-mono depends) has not been in active development since April 2018 and may therefore have issues with updated Arch Linux systems as well as possible security vulnerabilities.

## Installing

The setup requires mono and mod_monoAUR for Apache compliance. Package xspAUR is a simple webserver for ASP.NET, optionally installed for testing the configuration.

## Configuring

Add the following line to `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`:

     Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/mod_mono.conf

Finally, restart `httpd.service`.

Now, Apache should be able to show ASP.NET-pages.

### AutoHosting

  Further details: https://www.mono-project.com/AutoHosting/

With this setting, configuring apache for each deployment is no longer needed; just place the application in any directory within html-root and it will be promptly auto-configured. Add the following lines to `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf` to enable the option:

     # Choose ASP2.0 support instead of the default 1.0
     MonoServerPath "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4" # mono 4
     MonoAutoApplication enabled

## Testing

If xsp is installed and html-path is `/httpd/html`, then open a browser and access http://server/xsp/ to see an overview over the ASP.NET-testfiles.

## Troubleshooting

### Application/Site Instance Hangs with high cpu usage.

This is believed to be caused by a bug/incompatibility in the mod-mono module with SystemD versions above 239.303.

Currently there is no fix (other than a workaround) as the project appears to have ceased development.

See https://github.com/mono/mod_mono/issues/9 for more information.
