How to run MVC application in newer Mono ? If Apache conf file contains
MonoServerPath "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4"
so that Mono shipped with Debian is used, it works. Also it works with 5.4.1.6 version, if
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mono/mono.git --branch=mono-5.4.1.6
is used.
I also compiled xsp from mono/xsp master branch and added System namespace and compilation element to application web.config:
<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="4.0">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Linq" />
<add namespace="Eeva.Business" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" />
<add namespace="System.Web.WebPages" />
<add namespace="System" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
to but problem persists.
