Re: new 2.2.3.9 install, first time home page request error

Joe, just out of curiosity and to get this straight but please correct me if I am wrong:

1) You are able to run on mono currently (minus Web Parts)

2) You are using the latest mojoPortal (some probably not even in svn)

3) You use mono (mcs, mono, libgdiplus?) from svn

What subversion revision number is your mono checkout assuming the above conditions are true?

BTW Thanks for helping figure this out.

Re: new 2.2.3.9 install, first time home page request error

Hi Zak,

1.) Yes, the mojoportal.mds (MonoDevelop Solution) leaves out WebParts

2.) I am using mojoPortal from https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/mojoportal/sandboxes/joeaudette, which is only slighty different than trunk, usually at the end of each day I merge my changes to trunk.

3.) yes, yesterday I updated a little documentation here: http://www.mojoportal.com/buildingmonofromsvn.aspx
which includes a download for the script I use to checkout mono

As of yesterday I build mono r90957

I'm using opensuse 10.2 and pgsql

I also just tested on the mono 1.2.6 preview on a different vm and it generally works, found a problem with the UpdatePanel not working like ajax, it does normal postback

Hope it helps,

Joe

Anyhow I am still having problems but now it's with starting apache, however it is mono related.

BTW Bob

if you are running the svn version your mono -V output should look more like:

Mono JIT compiler version 1.2.6 (/trunk/ r90994)
Copyright (C) 2002-2007 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
TLS: __thread
GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC)
SIGSEGV: altstack
Notifications: epoll
Architecture: amd64
Disabled: none

Also I do now have an ebuild that installs mono from svn, but I am still testing it. For example right now it should allow me to select a spefific revision, but that part is entirely untested.

Hope that helps.

It's alive! I was fighting configuration problems with apache2 (hah go figure right, I'm no expert and I am pretty sure one needs to be with the complex beast) Anyhow I am running on svn from Sat. (see above post for the actual revision, the garbage is from accidently enabling hit-a-hint plugin) The only thing that I did run into that was different is the following change in the Web.config file:

mono was throwing an execption regarding formatting using the ambigous "en" culture info.

I've only loaded the home page so far, but I'll update as I progress.

Zak, it looks like this with the latest tarball.

Mono JIT compiler version 20071210 (tarball)
Copyright (C) 2002-2007 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
TLS: __thread
GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC)
SIGSEGV: altstack
Notifications: epoll
Architecture: x86
Disabled: none

With the svn is the same. I'll try and experiment with kernel settings and flags and will try and compile with TLS=pthread. Can you show your USE?

emerge --info gives:

...

USE="acl acpi amd64 berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dri fortran gdbm gpm iconv ipv6 isdnlog ldap midi mmx mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline reflection screen session spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vim xorg zlib" ...

nothing special regarding mono or mojoportal except that mono will compile 64-bit for the amd64 vs x86 32-bit.

Re: new 2.2.3.9 install, first time home page request error

Now running on the 1.2.6 release version. It seems nice so far especially since a bug in the site menu rendering between firefox on windows vs. linux is gone.

Regarding Gentoo the ebuild version has been bumped up to 1.2.6 so this is very nice, but at least I have an ebuild that I can use to pull from svn if needed (I might even think about making an ebuild for mojoPortal itself).

Re: new 2.2.3.9 install, first time home page request error

Zak, I don't think, there's a sense in a mojoPortal ebuild if it's not in the portage. I have simply renamed mono-1.2.6.ebuild and made digest of a recent snapshot. It works fine with other applications, but now I can't connect to any database from mySQL to PostgreSQL. The last hope is for sqlite, thought I guess there is the old bug with the System.Web.UI.Literal. All available Linux servers run on Gentoo or FreeBSD. So I now do some things in Windows in a [vain] hope that some day mojoPortal is running again.

Re: new 2.2.3.9 install, first time home page request error

I am running 2.2.3.9 compiled with MonoDevelop.

The System.Web.UI.Literal bug has not been a problem since svn r90992, nor is it a problem with the current 1.2.6 release. Actually current mono release seems to be working nicely.

I am not having database connection issues with firebird, I did however run into one bug in the DAL regarding some of the SQL.

My guess is that you are running into database connection string/configuration issues, but without seeing the page's debug output it is difficult to tell more. Hope you figure it out

Re: new 2.2.3.9 install, first time home page request error

Zak, now I can launch current svn portal version under sqlite and yesterday mono snapshot, so mojoPortal works fine again with Mono. I prefer to build from snapshots as they make some basic tests before archiving it. So the problem is with something else (maybe with my hands). MySQL and PostgreSQL run fine with other Linux applications.

Thanks for help! It's a rare luck to find another Gentoo user with an application like this.
