Hello,

I also seem to be getting this error I believe I have Mono 2.0.1 installed.  The SVN change referenced above should have been applied to this release I think.  What am I doing wrong?  I am running on CentOS, with MySql, and MojoPortal 2-2-7-7

Server Error in '/mojo' Application
Could not load type 'mojoPortal.Web.MonoCompilationSection, mojoPortal.Web'.

Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

Thank you.

Joe,

Thank you for the rapid response.  I may be using the incorrect release files as I think I may have downloaded the MSSQL stuff from Codeplex and added the MySQL stuff to that.

I downloaded the SVN but Monodevelop looked like a hassle to build on CentOS so I gave it a miss.

I will start the whole thing from scratch using the files you suggest and let you know.

Thank you again Joe.  I just plain missed that one of the database builds was Mono specific and I never thought to go back to Codeplex to see if I had downloaded the proper files.  I noticed the WebParts stuff in Web.config and had commented that out but did not think that perhaps the compiled files had to be Mono specific.

Anyway, I did as you instructed and it installed nicely.  I had some funny trouble with database permissions and user.config but it all seems fine now.  Hopefully this thread will prevent somebody as inattentive as myself from bothering you about it again.

Are there Mono specific documents that I should be reading or is there a summary of what works and does not work on Mono somewhere.

Thank you again for your prompt response.  I am looking forward to learning how to use mojoPortal.

Hi

i had the same problems with a self compiled mono 2.2 and xsp,mod_mono setup on Apache2 with mojoPortal 2.2.8.2

My solution finally was to download the mono 2.2 livecd, boot it in a vm, and after that, build the mojoPortal from source completely.

after that i created a tar archive which contained alle binaries and copied it over to my bin in mojoPortal webfolder.

after that, it seems to work, except i get sometimes a thread exception in the setup, and i assume i still have some config problems, setting up the content in the mysql (connection works).

If you or anyone else have the same problem, i have uploaded my bins here, so you dont have to do the compiling by yourself. (save time)

This is also my first post, so Hello everybody, i am new in this community! :)
