I agree and have removed that page. I should have removed it sooner and apologise for the inconvenience.

I tried to support Mono for many years but it never in those years really was reliable enough for important production sites and it was a lot of extra work trying to support it. Back when Mono was under Novell they used to put out a VMWare image of opensuse with mono for every new release of Mono and that made it easier for me to do testing as I'm not a linux super guru. But they no longer provide such and it makes it even more work to setup a test environment. I always had to make separate builds for Mono and the last version of mojoPortal where I did that was version 2.3.6.5 which can still be downloaded but I have no idea if it works with the latest mono. Its hard also to keep supporting it because only a very old version of AjaxControlToolkit works with Mono as far as I know. 

My perception is that the Mono guys are more focused on mobile these days and maybe web services to support mobile, but large complex web apps are a difficult challenge, they don't run their own sites on Mono, they use php. Its hard to have confidence in their web stack if they don't eat their own cooking.

Best Regards,

Also, on the download page, you suggest that there are mono specific files (I'm assuming there used to be) which sent me looking for them.

I'm going to try and get it up and running building from source as all my other sites run using mono.

When was the last time you tried using mono? It's come a long way in the last year or so.

Best,

Joe

I'm getting 503 errors when attempting to run the /Setup/Default.aspx or attempting to access a newly created instance of Mojo. I have got the XSP test site working via Apache fine however.

I get the following in my Apache errors log:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The section <system.webServer> is defined more than once in the same configuration file. (/var/www/mojo/Web.config line 1054)

 

The offending sections appears to be the below. As you can see the default Web.config has an additional configuration to set validateIntergradedModeConfiguration = false, but this appears to conflict with the one in location tags below it.

Is there any recommended way to resolve this?

 

<!-- this one needs to be outside of the location element because this setting should also go to child apps -->
<system.webServer>
<!-- Disable runtime rejection of Integrated mode applications that have legacy ASP.NET settings -->
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />

The same errors occur with other versions of MONO .

Best regards!

 

In the meantime I tried the combination mojo2.3.6.2 mono2.6.7 opensuse12.1. 

In this combination it is possible to add new pages, log in and out, create new users...Image Gallery work normal when access to the site with Windows 7 (64bit), and when You try access them  from Windows XP 32-bit  image will be opened in browser(like a file).

The main problem that remains is: pages with "shared files" component is not working...

Does anyone know the working combination of mojo portal xxxx, mono 2.x.x, apače2 xxxxx, and xsp and some free linux operating system .

 

 

See my comments on this thread. Unfortunately Mono has not become a stable platform for running mojoPortal. It has worked to some degree in the past for some versions of mojoPortal and some versions of Mono but it has never reached a point of being reliable and I'm skeptical whether it ever will after hoping it would since 2004.

When Mono was supported by Novell they used to make a VMWare image available of opensuse and Mono that I would use for some testing but they no longer do that and testing often revealed Mono bugs anyway. I ahve not shipped a release package for Mono in quite a while now.

Recently I did try updating our .sln for Mono on my Mac, and while I was able to get it to compile and I was able to run the setup page, I could not get it to work on other pages after that, it gave strange errors on internal mono classes. It also gives errors when trying to use the latest AjaxControlToolkit.

I'm still a fan of Mono but I am very close to giving up completely on the idea that it will ever be a stable platform for running mojoPortal. I think their focus these days is on mobile devices and maybe simple web services to support mobile apps can work ok but large complex ASP.NET projects have always been challenging on Mono and I think it is worse today for such apps than in the past.

Sorry I don't have better news on the Mono front.

Best,

Joe

Also when I log out from the site and try a new login or anything else get an error until you restart apache2

I also get this error (after signout I can not access the site until restart apache2 ) in mojoPortal 2.3.6.5, 2.3.6.4 and 2.3.5.1.

In Mojo2.3.5.1 and 2.3.4.4 i got an error when try to view page with inserted "shared files" component.

OpenSuse12.1, Apache2  2.2.21-3.2.2,  XSP 2.10.2-21.2,  Mono Core 2.10.2-36.1 ( I try 2.10.5 but I have the same errors).

All attempts I have worked with the version compiled for mono.

Some advice? Maybe the problem is in setting apache2  mono and xsp? I have no more ideas...

I am not even sure which programme is failing. If I try to go beyond the hostname to enter the hostname/Setup/Default.aspx page then it is just an Error 500 Apache Internal Server error.

But from what you say even when it runs you cannot access skins, which is my reason for wanting to run MP. I am trying to update a very old installation of MP and wanted to try it out locally before risking changing the "real" website.  

I can make a single ASP.Net page open correctly but there is some failure in the Apache Virtual Host / mono-server chain of events that is fatal.

It's a shame for mono and linux to lose to MS 

I agree except it never really got all the way there, its always been almost there as far as ASP.NET on Mono/Linux. But of course ASP.NET keeps evolving too and is a moving target for the Mono team to try and keep up with it. Mono still has many great uses, its just that it never quite got all the way there as far as becoming a stable reliable environment for ASP.NET. In my opinion the problem is not enough eating your own dogfood. The Mono site has never run on ASP.NET and when Mono was under Novell none of their sites used it, they always used wikiemedia or other PHP things. If they used it for large important sites that matter to them then they would find the bugs and it would have become stable but instead they just throw it out there for others to use and hope they get good bug reports with test cases.

Best,

Joe

1. Actually invest the time to learn what functions the mono classes support and really try to code based on a specific mono version checking out the code on linux with svn and building with MonoDevelop.

2. MojoPortal in a windows environ.

3. Drupal PHP Linux.

It's a shame for mono and linux to lose to MS 

Unfortunately there are often bugs in Mono, it has never become stable enough for me to recommend it for any production web site and lately I have not been testing it at all. It is always hit or miss, often it work but there are some bugs but new releases of Mono often break things, some bugs get fixed, some new ones appear, some regressions occur. It has been that way since 2004, every now and then it works reasonably well but with a few minor bugs but often there are major bugs. Sometimes it doesn't work at all, sometimes it works under xsp2 but not under mod_mono.

I haven't given up on Mono completely though, at some point I plan to start testing again but I'm not setup to do it at the moment. They used to release VMWare images of Mono on openSuse and that made it easier for me to setup a testing environment but since Mono is no longer under Novell they no longer make a VM available so it is more work to setup a testing environment.

Sorry that I don't have better news for you.

Joe

I loaded all files and folders into my site folder /var/www/psellc did chown -R www-data:www-data which is the default user and group for Apache2 under Ubuntu. I use the Apache mod-mono the parse ASP.NET pages and not XSP2 or XSP4

http://library.linode.com/frameworks/mod-mono/debian-5-lenny

I have gotten mojoPortal 2.3.3.0 to successfully installed and opened the homepage. The issues is that none of the skins work. I am not a programmer of any kind so it is very difficult for me to follow the logic of "<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="Default.aspx.cs" MasterPageFile="~/App_MasterPages/layout.Master" StylesheetTheme="" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="mojoPortal.Web.UI.CmsPage" %>"

------------------------------------------------------

this is from my Apache error.log file " Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) mod_mono/2.10 PHP/5.3.6-13ubuntu3.2 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

Listening on: /tmp/mod_mono_server_global"

------------------------------------------------------------

I see the file ~/App_MasterPages/layout.Master but I dont understand where this class or method is coming from mojoPortal.Web.UI.CmsPage. it seem the whole site inherits it's logic from this Web.UI.Cms, and I cant find it anywhere under my webroot.

It would be very helpful if there is a logic path showing how the site work from the Default.aspx

Cecil

Many thanks

I recommend try using version 2.3.6.6 of mojoPortal, use one of the packages labeled for mono

It is compiled on Linux but using .NET version 3.5 not 4, so xsp2 not xsp4

The easiest package to try will be the one for SQLite since it requires no database server software, or you can try it with MySql but you have to also download the mysql data layer and replace the data dlls and copy the /Setup folder into the main package.

Hope that helps,

Joe

However when trying to access the /Setup/Default.aspx page in Apache an error is shown

Running Mojoportal under Ubuntu is certainly not easy, although there are help pages on the internet where people claim to have succeeded, but none of their instructions have yet worked for me. Or is it simply that it is not possible to use Mojoportal under Ubuntu?

I am working in Ubuntu 11.04 with the mojoportal 2-3-7-0 download files for NET3.5  and a MySQL database, in order to update a very old existing mojoportal website installation. This requires substituting a whole new skin to work with the many changes that have taken place to mojoportal since our existing version was set up.  I want to be able to view the new installation on my local computer and adjust the skin before risking an upload to our web hosting service.

There are two webpages from the Documentation section of the Mojoportal website relating to using Apache to run the system on a local host,  one at http://www.mojoportal.com/apachesetup.aspx and one at http://www.joeaudette.com/settingupapachevirtualhostswithmod_mono.aspx , but after struggling with both of these I cannot get mojoportal to run in the Firefox browser.

Trawling the web for other advice has given me a dozen different solutions, none of which work, and I am leaving a trail of abandoned code changes in various configuration files in apache and mod_mono , trying and failing to get a Virtual Host, or anything at all to appear in Firefox.

I need a straightforward simple guide setting out a step by step process that will get mojoportal running on my computer in Firefox so that I can view the effect of changes to the skin that I want to make.

Can you please help with an idiot proof set of instructions on what changes to make to specific files and what address to call up in Firefox to eventually see mojoportal running?

This beginner is really struggling!

I'm getting the error when I try to access the page.

operating system: Mac Osx 10.6.8

Database platform: MySql 5.5.16

version of mojoPortal: 2.3.6.7

​version of mono: 2.10.5

​version of mod_mono: 2.10 (downloaded from mono source pages and compiled localy as instructed on the .txt that comes within)

The tests pages of XSP runs OK! in apache.

I copied a MojoPortal instalation (files on Web Site) that works ok on a Win Server with mysql. Directory, Alias and handler OK in httpd.conf.

It will point to the same database whenever it runs...

I am new to work with mono in apache. I read in other post in this forum that it is supported by mono so I'm sure am missing some configuration.

can you help me guys on this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for the bug reports and fixes! I will make the same changes in my copy and commit it to the repository later today.

Best,

Joe

I corrected this by adding MessageListDialog.* to mojoPortal.Features.UI.mono (missed reference).

Attachmate Lays Off Mono Employees

Sad to see this news, it doesn't bode well for Mono to improve and become more stable for web apps.

Really there are only a few things developers should have to be conscious of to support Mono like case sensitivity of urls and proper handling of file system paths, ie using Directory.PathSeparatorChar rather than hard coding \ characters into strings, not using P/Invoke against native windows dlls (can't do that in medium trust anyway), etc.

Other than that if Mono is working like it is supposed to it should be the same as .NET on Windows.

What it would really need to stabilize Mono for mojoPortal is someone who is dedicated to testing and and filing bug reports to the Mono team and that is something I don't have time for and have not put much time in on for quite a while now. Without that I think it will always be hit or miss using Mono. I keep hoping that someone else in the community would be interested and committed enough to take charge of testing and reporting bugs on Mono. I would love for that to happen, but I'm far to busy to do it myself.

I did notice I also got this error (but it went away after refreshing the page a few times). - Using the .NET 3.5/Monoserver 2..

It seems to run slowly (4cpu, 2.5megs ram server) also..

My GUT says Novell are only interested in MonoTouch/DroidTouch these days. Their Moonlight has slipper away and their ASP.NET

support is not fantastic..  I must say.. I have been following mono from day 1.. And I love C#/.NET.. But mono seems to be fading away a bit ?

I can get more reliable cross platform stuff with PhP or FreePascal/Lazarus/Delphi...

It looks like this one is my mistake. When I created the service for the gallery I forgot to include the file in the mono version of the project so it is not compiled into the mono version of mojoPortal.Features.UI.dll

I will try to find time to fix the mono package in the next few days.

I'm still trying new mojo releases with mono (on OpenSuSE 11.1 with the last mono 2.8.2).

If you want a stable installation of mojoPortal I recommend use Windows hosting, almost every version of Mono they fix some bugs but they introduce new ones, very rarely you may get lucky with a Mono release.

I wish Mono was a stable platform for ASP.NET, but as long as the Mono web site runs on PHP and Novell does not run any important web sites on ASP.NET/Mono I don't think it will ever happen. I've been waiting since 2004 and it is very much the same today as back then. Not enough testing of Mono is done with complex ASP.NET web applications and there are almost always problems in each release of Mono.

Please Help Me

Thanks

I've been interested in Mono since 2004 and for 6 years I've done the extra work trying to support Mono and hoping it would become a stable web environment for mojoPortal. I'm still waiting, it hasn't happened. No web hosts will offer it because they can't support it. From time to time you might get lucky with a release of Mono and it is stable enough (ie the bugs are not critical) but it could break on the next Mono release, or a new feature in a new version of mojoPortal may reveal a new bug in Mono. I don't blame the Mono team, they are chasing a moving target with the .NET framework and will always be playing catch up. To be honest my interest in Mono is waning for this reason, it has been an elusive dream to be able to run mojoPortal reliably on Mono. Also my impression is that the Mono team is more focused on newer trends like mobile development than on ASP.NET these days. Not saying they don't care about it, just my impression is other things are higher priority.

What is really needed to reach the goal of being able to run important production sites on Mono with mojoPortal is someone who is a sharp developer, a Mono enthusiast who is comfortable on Linux and can work with the mojoPortal code on Linux using MonoDevelop to join the mojoPortal team and take charge of testing mojoPortal on Mono, finding the bugs and reporting them to the Mono team so they get fixed and Mono becomes more stable. It could happen if we had someone (or several people) dedicated to this, but I cannot do it myself, I'm spread too thin and cannot give it the amount of effort it would take. The Mono team is very responsive to good bug reports, the problem is I don't have the time to do all the testing to find bugs and make good bug reports.

So, if there is a community of people out there for whom mojoPortal Mono support is important, I challenge you to step up and help make it happen. Until then running mojoPortal on Mono will always be a "your mileage may vary" situation which is not a situation for important production sites. If you are interested in being our Mono Testing Champion or form a mojoPortal Mono Team and organize a few people to help, let me know, I would welcome your help. I will say that if it ever becomes possible to run mojoPortal reliably on Linux with Mono, then it would open the door to other opportunities like making a mojoPortal Linux appliance using SuseStudio. It could be very exciting, but I can't do it myself because I'm drinking from a firehose of exciting things already.

Best,

Joe

Just wondering how many sites out there using  MOJOPORTAL with MONO .....

newbies like me who may experience any difficulty might want to try it. now i need to get my asp. net files to open.

webmin is a web based app so it has a beautiful gui.

thanks Joe Audette. would hae loved to download the sql lite package but internet is costly where i live so dowloading it would have been painful.

besides, you said: "Or if you just want to play with mojoPortal you could try the Sqlite package for Mono since it has a zero configuration database. For a real production site pgsql would be a better choice." i don't want to just play with it,  i want to do a "real production site" . thanks for mojo portal by the way.

 

 

I am still experiencing the same difficulty. After creating the files, using gedit. For the first file, i named it plpgsql.sql and then put all the content that was below it in the text file, i.e,

"SET search_path = public, pg_catalog;

CREATE FUNCTION plpgsql_call_handler () RETURNS language_handler
AS '$libdir/plpgsql', 'plpgsql_call_handler'
LANGUAGE c;

CREATE TRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql HANDLER plpgsql_call_handler;" 

and then saved the file. Did same with  CreateDatabase.sql.

i placed them in the home directory. Your tutorial said or any other working directory. Could you clarify what you mean by a working directory? 

I hope i am correct in assuming that i should use the terminal to carry out the instructions in the tutorial.

when i ran su postgres and i then copied and pasted the instruction:"psql -d template1 -f plpgsql.sql"  i get this output from the terminal: 

mbuotidem@NET-SERVER-PC:~$ su postgres
Password:
postgres@NET-SERVER-PC:/home/mbuotidem$ psql -d template1 -f plpgsql.sql
could not change directory to "/home/mbuotidem"
plpgsql.sql: No such file or directory
postgres@NET-SERVER-PC:/home/mbuotidem$ psql -d template1 -f CreateDatabase.sql
could not change directory to "/home/mbuotidem"
CreateDatabase.sql: No such file or directory
postgres@NET-SERVER-PC:/home/mbuotidem$ createuser --pwprompt --no-adduser --no-createdb mojo
could not change directory to "/home/mbuotidem"
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) y
createuser: creation of new role failed: ERROR: role "mojo" already exists
postgres@NET-SERVER-PC:/home/mbuotidem$

 

Yes, i have installed pgadminIII and i am going through the help files. 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

The documentation was not up to date and the files mentioned are not included with mojoPortal. I've updated the article to show the contents of those files so you can create them. I think the error is just because the files don't exist on disk, with the updated article you could create them.

http://www.mojoportal.com/postgresqlsetup.aspx

To be honest I'm no linux super guru myself. I generally prefer the gui tools, I would guess that Ubuntu has something available or you might try installing pgAdmin. I have pgsql running on a linux box but I connect to it from windows using pgAdmin to create and manage databases.

Or if you just want to play with mojoPortal you could try the Sqlite package for Mono since it has a zero configuration database. For a real production site pgsql would be a better choice.

Hope it helps,

Joe

I'm trying to install mojo portal on a pc running Ubuntu 10.04, 8.4.4-0ubuntu10.04, and Mono 2.4.4~svn151842-1ubuntu4 and mojoportal-2-3-4-5-pgsql-mono-deploymentfiles.

I am having difficult setting up the database. I tried to follow the instructions on from http://www.mojoportal.com/postgresqlsetup.aspx but when i try to implement step 2: 

[quote]

Run
psql -d template1 -f 1CreateDatabase.sql
[/quote]

 

I get this error

[quote]

postgres@NET-SERVER-PC:/home/mbuotidem$ psql -d template1 -f 1CreateDatabase.sql
could not change directory to "/home/mbuotidem"
1CreateDatabase.sql: No such file or directory
[/quote]

 

what could be responsible for this and how do i correct this problem?

mojoPortal is great!

My site use mojoPortal 2.3.3.6, I tested it in Debian(mono2.4.3-2.6.4), FreeBSD(mono2.6.3) can be good on the run, except outside the UpdatePanel.

The same bug has been there for at least the last 3 versions of Mono. Problem is that Mono gives null reference exceptions on controls declared inside and updatepanel. I think I have mentioned this bug before to my friend on the Mono team but I guess it needs to be reported again.

Best,

Joe

These sound like Mono bugs to me, it is issues like this that prevent me from recommending hosting any important production sites on Mono. I would not want to have 10 customer sites running on Mono myself because there are always some issues like this that I cannot solve because they are not issues in mojoPortal code. It can be reported to the Mono team but unless it is possible to come up with a simple test case that proves the issue (which is usually not easy to do) or at least easy repeatable steps they can use to produce the issue with mojoPortal then it is hard to get things fixed and in the best case you have to wait for the next release of Mono for the fix. And then the next release of Mono usually has some new issues or regressions along with the fixed things. It can be very stressful and difficult to provide customer satisfaction having important sites running under these circumstances.

Best,

Joe

I started a new thread to expose the (little) things causing trouble. http://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&mid=34&ItemID=22&thread=5361

If you need help for testing mojo on mono, you can ask me. I've a little dedicated OpenSuse server where I use mojoPortal for some customers' websites.

Michel.

Thank you Joe for all the time you spent to get it working with mono. That works really well.

I've set up some little web sites on my dedicated OpenSuse server for some customers (almost 10 for now).

This is the little things what are causing trouble :

• Searching

http://www.pignans-immobilier.com/SearchResults.aspx

You can try. I've already tried to rebuild the index using the button, and to change some values in web.config, with no success : html code appears in the textbox and index building seems to never terminate. The log file say the indexing started, but it nevers said "terminated". I don't know if there is a link, but sometimes I found a mono process using all the processor, and never ending too. Any idea ?

• 404 error with feature management on a page

It appends on adding, moving, and deleting feature. I think this 404 appears when it tries to reload the page in order to refresh the features list.

Apache say that the page is "http://www.pignans-immobilier.com/Admin/PageLayout.aspx%3fpageid=[the id]", but if I copy/paste it in the adress bar then replace the %3f by the corresponding "?", I can access the page with no pb.

If someone can help, thanks.

Michel.

Actually there are still significant issues under Mono 2.6.3, I put in some workarounds to prevent these issues from completely breaking the site but the issues remain.

It seems that anywhere that we use the UpdatePanel, Mono does not seem to see the controls contained inside the UpdatePanel and can throw null reference exceptions when you refer to them in code in some cases.

The biggest error was happening inside our mojoRating.ascx.cs so I had to add conditional compilation to make this control not render under Mono, so content rating system does not currently work under Mono but this kept it from causing the yellow screen of death.

Also in other places the UpdatePanel doe snot seem to update the page. For example in the PageLayout.aspx page where you add a feature to the page, the feature does not show in the list unless you refresh the page.

There may also be additional anomalies as my testing has not been exhaustive.

I could really use some help in identifying these issues and reporting them to the Mono team because I am so busy it is difficult for me to find time to focus on Mono issues.

Best,

Joe

No more pb with the last mono ; last mojo works perfectly.

Michel.

I am a "triple buse" in french.

The solution is only to install mono-devel in the good version, and there was a pb with dependencies in my server...

Thanks.

http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71234.html

But I don't more see what to do. Any idea ? Any workaround ?

Tired of that error, I'm about to loosing hope. I can get running mojo with the last stable mono 2.6.3 on my local test machine (OpenSuSE 11.2), but I can't get it working on my dedicated server hosting (OpenSuSE 11.1) : http://www.depannage-informatique-var.com/

mono 2.6.3 (from preview repo on opensuse) tested with mojo 2.3.3.9 (Sqlite), but the same error appears. No pb I wait for the next mono release.

But I want to say that 2.3.3.6 works well, and it's a real pleasure to use it on linux.

Michel.

I tested mojoPortal with success (adding pages, administration, html content modification) using mono 2.6.3 (from preview repository) and the following versions :

• 2.3.3.2 (Sqlite)
• 2.3.3.6 (Sqlite) -that rocks-

But with 2.3.3.9 (Sqlite), the same server exception is raised that the one reported here. No pb for me, I'll use 2.3.3.6 until the future mono release.

I continue testing and to inform here.

Michel.

This is some news, and others issues, wishing it can help improving mono compatibility.

I was trying to run on OpenSuSE 11.2 mojoPortal 2.3.3.9 with mono 2.6.1, with the results explained here.

Then I tried mono 2.4.3, but without more success (same server error with mojoRating).

After that I tried mojoPortal 2.3.3.0, 2.3.3.4, 2.3.3.6, and I was happy to view the home page successfully processed, even with mono re-upgrated at 2.6.1.

Can navigate, change site skin, ... but unfortunally, for example (2.3.3.6 + mono 2.6.1), others server errors occurs at :

• HTML content editing validation
• Adding new page validation

I wish reporting this can help.

Michel.

Ok, thanks Joe. We'll wait for the fixes.

Michel.

Unfortunately there are major regressions in the current versions of Mono that cause mojoPortal to be majorly broken under Mono. I've reported the major issues and am told they are fixed in svn and will be fixed in the next Mono release. 

Best,

Joe

Here is our configuration :

Any idea ? Thanks.

It seems to be Mono bugs, I was able to produce the same problem. The null reference seems to be that Mono does not find the progressbar controls in the page. I implemented a workaround and managed to get the page to load but then when I try to use the file manager like click to go to a folder and it blows up with more errors.

Seems to be some major bugs still in Mono.

Best,

Joe

Is this a mojoportal or mono bug?

Downloaded Mono 2.6.1 Virtual PC SuSE image.  Ran the mojoportal web framework.  Same error with the File Manager.

Novell has just released Mono 2.6.1 I'm currently testing it right now... with an MojoPortal SVN build.

Best regards

Pierre-Alain.

It is very nice of you to offer! However I'm not a linux super user, I know how to do a few things from the command window like lauching xsp2, using svn and compiling mono, but I don't really know it well enough to do everything so I stick with the gui desktop tools when possible. So using the opensuse vmware image is what I'm comfortable with. I don't have the time for exhaustive testing on Mono, I do basic sanity testing from time to time to make sure things are still working. The good news is that Novell uses mojoPortal for testing Mono so they probably test more than I do. If I find a bug on mono or one is reported to me I verify the problem and report it to the Mono team. I used to test svn builds of mono more often than release builds but lately I mainly test the latest VMWare image.

Best,

Joe

Thank you for your answer Joe. It's a very good news !

Hum... Joe Just for helping , Maybe you could be interested by virtual servers with various version of mono just for your tests ?
If you are, don't hesitate,
I take only a few minutes to bring these virtual server online with Internet Acces for apache, Shell, and FTP access.

Best regards,

Pierre-Alain

I personally have not tested beyond the Mono 2.4.2.3 VMWare image as of yet. I guess pretty soon I will get the latest VMWare image.

I will say that I am close to a new release of mojoPortal and there are changes in mojoportal svn trunk that were made later than version 2.3.3.0 specifically to solve some issues under Mono.

I was contacted by Marc Christensen of Novell who maintains the RPM package of mojoPortal that they ship with the VMWare iamges about some issues he was having compiling and running mojoPortal so a few minor changes were made with conditional compilation to get around these issues. So the RPM version of mojoPortal shipping with the new mono releases is actually a snapshot of mojoPortal 2.3.3.1 as it existed in svn trunk on the day he made the latest package.

So you may want to try again after the coming mojoPortal release or else by getting the mojoportal code from our svn trunk and building the mojoportal.mds with MonoDevelop

Best,

Joe

As you maybe know new Mono versions are out (2.4.3 and 2.6)
I have tested three version of Mono with two versions of Mojoportal 2.3.3.0 and 2.3.1.9.
It makes 6 tests...

Here are the (short) results.

1 - Mojoportal 2.3.1.9 in Mono 2.4.2.3 :
I have a web site (maisonpedia)in production in this environment and there is no bug from the Internet Side.
In fact for Internet All features can be used except statistics and shared files. (For shared file maybe I missed a configuration from Web.config)
But in administration interfaces and from my tests : the most boring was creating a new page and manage content.

2 - Mojoportal 2.3.3.0 in Mono 2.4.2.3 :
Results are the same from above

3 - For MojoPortal 2.3.1.9 with Mono 2.4.3
There is not a lot of change between Mono 2.4.2.3 and Mono 2.4.3
except the suppression of a friendly URL is now running (benefit of Mono 2.4.3)

4 - For MojoPortal 2.3.3.0 with Mono 2.4.3
The Creation of a new page is now not crashing (benefit of MojoPortal 2.3.3.0).And All Features are running like step 1

5 and 6 - For MojoPortal 2.3.1.9 & 2.3.3.0 with Mono 2.6
Ok... for now and from my tests you can forget it. Using Mojoportal cause some strange crash and even if you restart Apache the Mono processes are still here...

Most boring, Managing content is not running anymore (For version 2.4.3 and 2.6 of Mono) and was running in previous SVN version of Mono (Between 2.4.2.3 and 2.4.3)...

From these tests my opinion is that now the better choise is MojoPortal 2.3.3.0 and Mono 2.4.3
But maybe I missed something in Mono 2.6 compilation... I don't know...
Any comments are welcome, because maybe your tests are differents.

Best regards,

Pierre-Alain

It is not and has never been a design goal of mojoPortal to support extra hierarchy segments in the url.

Sorry to disappoint you but it is not going to be implemented and I do not consider it bug because it is not a design goal and it is not going to become a design goal any time soon. My advice is do not use extra segments and I cannot promise it will work in any future versions if you do use them.

I disagree that extra segments are needed for SEO. Short urls that convey the content of the page produce very good SEO and have the benefit of allowing you to move pages in the site hierarchy without breaking urls.

Note also that if you click the help link next to the url in page settings it clearly warns not to use extra segments in the url.

Best,

Joe

Don't worry Joe. Yes, I have reverted to the previous version ;)
And I can wait for the next release.
To my knowledge creating a hierarchy is better for SEO
I think to let this functionality is a good thing for SEO. (So it's a very good bug !) :)
I hope I will see it in the next release

Thank you again Joe.

Pierre-Alain

has an extra segment for /construction/

while this may work for you in some cases it is not supported and I do not recommend adding segments in the url to convey site hierarchy.

I never test those kind of urls and cannot promise they will work in current or future versions of mojoportal. If urlslike that do work in some versions of mojoportal it is merely happenstance.

This is discussed also in the document http://www.mojoportal.com/search-engine-optimization.aspx

So I do not consider this a bug. I recommend you remove the segments and setup 301 redirects from the segmented urls to new urls without additional segments using Adminstration > Advanced Tools > 301 Redirect Manager

The only case where extra segments are supported is when using multiple sites based on folder names, then there can be a segment for the folder which is only used to resolve the site id.

Best,

Joe

Is this currently affecting your production site or did you revert to a previous version?

http://www.maisonpedia.com/energie-domestique/le-prix-des-maisons-basse-consommation-encore-trop-eleve.aspx

seems to be working at the moment.

I'm getting very close to a new release but if your site is broken I can try to produce a build for you right away.

I do recommend changing this to false

<add key="AlwaysUrlEncode" value="false" />

I made it true by default in version 2.3.3.0 but I am changing it to false in the coming release because it seems to have caused more problems rather than fixing the one it was intended to fix.

Best,

Joe

Apache: 2.2.14

Mono: 2.4.2.3

Debian: Lenny

Core version: 2.3.1.9

MySQL: 5.0.51a

When I tried an upgrade to MojoPortal : 2.3.3.0 Urls like http://website/path/pages.aspx returned a 404 Error

(for exemple : http://www.maisonpedia.com/energie-domestique/le-prix-des-maisons-basse-consommation-encore-trop-eleve.aspx)

I tried a new fresh install in the same environment for testing :

http://website/pages.aspx was OK

http://website/blog/pages.aspx was not OK

In doubt I have checked your information concerning this new version (http://www.mojoportal.com/non-ascii-urls.aspx). But this was not the problem.

Best,

Pierre-Alain

You are absolutly right concernig the rendering

We will try to understand what's wrong and where because the application we have added in mojoportal has the same problem.

And this application is OK when it's in stand alone mono linux environment. You can see here (search engine concerning artists)

We will try to find the solution and we will inform you if we see something...

Thank you Joe

Pierre-Alain

On my contact form on Windows it renders like this:

<span id="ctl01_mainContent_ctl01_captcha52" style="display:inline-block;color:Red;height:50px;width:180px;display:none;">Incorrect, try again</span>

but on your site running on Mono the styles are reversed like this:

<span id="ctl00_mainContent_ctl00_captcha5" style="display:none;display:inline-block;color:Red;height:50px;width:180px;">Incorrect, try again</span>

since display:inline-block; comes after display:none; it does display on Mono whereas on windows the display:none; comes after display:inline-block; so it does not display the text until validation fails and it changes the style.

You could try using one of the other captchas. You can use ReCaptha (requires an account) or  the Simple Math Captcha. Yiou can choose it from Administration > Site Settings > Security > Anti Spam.

Best,

Joe

Apache 2.2.14 (compiled way)

MySQL 5.0.51a

MojoPortal 2-3-1-9

Debian Lenny

Hi,

A strange behaviour for mono.

When you connect here : http://www.maisonpedia.com/contact.aspx

You should see writen in red in the bottom "Incorrect, try again"

(Or for french people "Incorrect, veuillez recommencer")

It look like you have already push enter.

We have inserted a search engine application in mojoportal and the same behaviour occur.

We have done an upgrade to 2-3-3-0 and we have seen a bug in friendly URL For this reason we have made a roolback to 2-3-1-9 version of MojoPortal

There no emergency to solve this problem... We can live with this ;)

And for information this is the only difference between .NET and Mono for our utilisation of MojoPortal :)

Many Thanks

Apache 2.2.14

Mono 2.4.2.3

MojoPortal 2.3.2.9 Build from Monodevelop

Hello,

Fist of all thanks you Joe for this powerfull CMS !

For many reasons (but good I hope) we have choosen mojoportal Apache/mono for our website.

And to use it, is so easy even if I have no develloper ability.

The subject of my post is to inform that I use a tips in production...

Our Website www.maisonpedia.com is running with the latest stable version of mono.

And concerning the problem of publishing content in a page, I use another apache/Mono version from SVN build installation (only for bypass this problem).

This alternate installation is connected on the production database. Then I use it for publishing online content.

Regard and Hope this help ;)

You're right, with the mono version on the VMWare image the project build correctly.

It seems that the error come to my fedora box (version Leonidas 11). When i build the solution i get this:

The reference 'Mono.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756' is not valid for the target framework of the project.

But this is another story.

Thanks.

You are right, I forgot to include the files /Admin/PageSettingsSaved.ashx and /Admin/PageSettingsSaved.ashx.cs to the MonoDevelop project. I have fixed this in svn trunk. I will be making a new release within the next 2 weeks so I will have this fixed in the new release. I'm surprized no-one has reported this before.

If you branch down the mojoPortal.Web project then right click the Admin folder and choose Add Files, then browse and add those 2 files then rebuild it should work using the mojoportal.mds (but not the mojoportal.mono.sln)

It works for me using the Mono 2.4.2.3 VMWare image and using mojoPortal from svn trunk. I don't know about any issue with Mono.Web.Util, it does not happen for me.

Note that the svn trunk version is pre-configured for Sqlite (because its zero configuration needed) whereas previously it was pre-configured for pgsql. You can change the references from the Business projects to the data projects for pgsql manually if you want to use pgsql.

Hope it helps,

Joe

I opened the mojoportal.mds solution file and the files PageSettingsSaved.ashx and PageSettingsSaved.ashx.cs are not present in the mojoPortal.Web project.

I tried to build the solution (with mono 2.4.2.3) after adding the missing files but i have a problem with Mono.Web.Util that i can't reference in project target to the 3.5 runtime.

Can you fix the linux package and tell me how can i build the solution, please.

Thanks.

Don't use the mojoportal.mono.sln, instead use mojoportal.mds in MonoDevelop.

There are currently bugs in MonoDevelop that cause this and prevent me from transitioning to using the mojoportal.mono.sln

Trying to use that may have modified some designer files, I would revert all changes.

Hope it helps,

My svn checkout https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/mojoportal/trunk a few days ago had the missing reference to Novell.Directory.Ldap but I found the .dll in mojoportal/_libs. But now I get:

And have not found the System.Runtime.Serialization.Json that I think this is referring to.

An earlier bug in the Content Manager Publishing datagrid event firing was resolved with this mono svn branch.

However, File Manager does not run now. Is this a mono regression or is it mojoportal?
