A few things about ASP.net and mod_mono

• Mono supports all of ASP.NET 1.1 and most of ASP.NET 2.0 (currently missing WebParts and a few other small features of 2.0).
• ASP.NET code blocks start with <%, and end with %>
• ASP.NET is not the same thing as ASP. Files ending in .aspx will work, those ending in .asp will not.
• Check here if you don't know where the path to your Mono binary is: /usr/bin/
• Does mono run on Linux? Yes.
  

What runs my webserver?

Apache runs my webserver! It's the best Linux Web Hosting program out there! It's secure, easy to use, and often comes preinstalled in most Linux Distros!

It comes standard with most Ubiquity Hosting plans. I highly recommend using it regardless of what version of Linux you use.

About .htaccess

Here are a few things to keep in mind about .htaccess files:

• There are no tags to enclose them. No start tags, no end tags.
• Upon uploading your .htaccess file, it will affect everything in that directory and in deeper directories, so be careful.
• The file is usually hidden in the Linux Shell. If you're new to this, you might want to find it via a program like WinSCP or by FTPing and enabling the viewing of hidden files in your FTP client.
• Error 500 can often be explained by a bad .htaccess file. If you get this error while working on your .htaccess file or shortly thereafter, check to make sure everything is correct.
• .htaccess files override the rules set forth by .htaccess files in higher directories.
• This is how you write a comment:
• # Lines starting with a pound symbol are comments!
  


• This is how you do a 301 redirect:
  
  • redirect 301 / myotherpage.cgi
    
  
  


• The commands in your .htaccess file are called "directives"
