ASP.Net MVC 2 on nginx / mono 2.8

Question

I am trying to configure an ASP.Net MVC 2 application in a Linux environment. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on VirtualBox and then installed Mono 2.8 from sources. After that, I installed nginx and configured it as recommended here . Unfortunately, FastCGI shows me a standard page with a 500 error:

No Application Found Unable to find a matching application for request: Host localhost:80 Port 80 Request Path /Default.aspx Physical Path /var/www/mvc/Default.aspx 

My application is located in the / var / www / mvc directory. I tried to create the Default.aspx stub file and put it in the root directory of my application, but this did not help, the same error occurred. Thanks.

Answer 1

Does your application work with xsp (xsp4 if you are using .net 4.0)? You must ensure that this works before attempting to configure a connection to another web server.

Does nginx know where to look for mono? You most likely have a parallel installation, and it will not be used by default.

I use apache, but you can still find some of the instructions on my blog: http://tqcblog.com/2010/04/02/ubuntu-subversion-teamcity-mono-2-6-and-asp-net-mvc /

I also tested this using all ubuntu10.10 binaries. From what I can do from it, either nginx cannot pass the host name of the mono server, which cannot receive it via the fastcgi protocol. Anyway, the training line:

  fastcgi-mono-server2 /applications=www.domain1.xyz:/:/var/www/www.domain1.xyz/ /socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000 

does not work. Removing the host name does the job:

  fastcgi-mono-server2 /applications=/:/var/www/www.domain1.xyz/ /socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000 

but this, of course, blocks the use of multiple virtual hosts.

Answer 3

Since you are using an ASP.NET MVC 2 application, you must use fastcgi-mono-server4.

Answer 4

Adding the following line to / etc / nginx / fastcgi _param solves the problem for me. It also allows the use of multiple virtual hosts.

 fastcgi_param HTTP_HOST $host; 

Answer 5

I had this problem only now, I also followed the document on the mono site:

I tried to run fastcgi-mono-server as he suggested:

 sudo fastcgi-mono-server4 /applications=www.domain1.xyz:/:/var/www/www.domain1.xyz/ /socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000 & 

However, when I did this, I had the same problem as you. I changed it to the following:

 sudo fastcgi-mono-server4 /applications=/:/var/www/www.domain1.xyz/ /socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000 & 

And it worked (I had to type on www.domain1.xyz/Home/Index to see my MVC page, I didn’t figure out how to stop it by looking at www.domain1.xyz/default.aspx, but XD).

Answer 6

You need to make sure that the domain specified in the configuration of your site corresponds to the domain transferred to the fastcgi server. For example, if your default site ( /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default ) has the following configuration:

 server { ... server_name www.domain1.xyz; ... } 

You will need to transfer this domain to the fastcgi server:

 sudo fastcgi-mono-server4 /applications=www.domain1.xyz:/:/var/www/www.domain1.xyz/ ... 

Then, when you get access to the site, it obviously should be with the domain you specified.
