Good news! Late in upstream!

Thanks! This is going to be very useful for us (7digital.com) eventually.

Thanks! I get this error when I load my ASP.Net MVC4 app. Do you have any idea why?

Could not load type 'System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Model.ColumnModel' from assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

Thanks and Regards

After upgrading to these packages on Ubuntu 12.10, I was unable to run any of my ASP.NET applications using xsp4 (such as while developing with monodevelop 3.0).

When using monodevelop to "start without debugging" I would get a standard ASP.NET error page telling me that I needed to turn off custom errors in my web config in order to see what the actual error was. This persisted even when I turned off custom errors in my web.config.

When using monodevelop to "start with debugging" I immediately received an error saying monodevelop could not start the xsp4 server and I should check to see if it was installed.

When starting xsp4 by hand, it appeared to start correctly, however upon the first page hit I would get an exception thrown during the generation of the HttpException. The stack trace looked like it had not even touched my code yet, and was trying to generate and HttpException for the exception thrown generating and HttpException. I'm surprised that it wasn't an infinite loop of exception handling at that point.

I tested it against an app that I was currently serving fine using a fastcgi-server4 instance that was still running from before the upgrade. xsp4 under mono3 failed to serve the known-good app.

I have removed all the packages from your repository, commented out your repository from my apt.sources, and reinstalled mono-complete, mono-xsp4, monodevelop, and mono-fastcgi-server4 from Ubuntu 12.10 sources. Under this setup, xsp4 is working again.

Maybe I'm missing but this fails to install on Ubuntu 12.10.

Hi - I would like to try out the preview packages, but would prefer to have access to the sources, too - and I cannot find those in your APT repository

great work! but seems like there are no xsp4 and mono-fastcgi packages? I tried using your 3.0 packages plus xsp4 2.10-2.1 from ubuntu packages but I'm getting some weird errors...

Another Thanks from me.

Thanks, I wanted to try out Mono 3.0 and this helped me get going quickly.

Hi, In mono 2.8 I can run my application, but then install this version and now I'm getting this:

An exception has occurred while generating HttpException page: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at System.Web.Util.HttpEncoder.GetCustomEncoderFromConfig () [0x00000] in :0 at System.Lazy`1[System.Web.Util.HttpEncoder].InitValue () [0x00000] in :0

The actual exception which was being reported was: System.Web.HttpException: ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

... and other stuff

What can I do? Thanks in advance for help me.

Thanks for doing all the work!

I second the request for source packages since I need to (try to) backport to Debian 6.0.

Again, thanks

I have a similar problem on debian 6.0

Thank for this, work flawlessly!

Hi,

Is there any chance you could release build scripts for 3.x ?

The trunk is updated regularly and it would be nice to make nightly builds for fixes etc..

Any hints, gotcha's would be appreciated.

Regards Andrew

It tells me at the end "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. " what should I do,help please?

So where are 32-bit packages? I can see amd64 only for mono 3.0

Just wanted to echo Andrew comments, build scripts would be fantastic.

Just upgraded to the 3.0.6 packages and get the following when trying to start any xsp4 web site. I may have some baggage left over from the previous 2.10.x install but so far haven't found it.

I'd like to build / get a 3.0.8 drop

Any chance you could update these packages to Mono 3.0.9?

Alternatively, post the scripts to build the packages?

Nice Thanks alot

Worked fine (so far so good) on Ubuntu 12.10, thank you very much!
