Mono and Nginx Issue on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Mono and Nginx Setup on Ubuntu 14.04

 

I had a problem with Apache and Mono in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (which is a nice distro, but I think a rush job)....so I'm trying to hold onto 12.04 LTS....but it's showing it's age...

 

First - Do the Following

 

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install nginx

apt-get install mono-complete

 

 

Second - /etc/nginx/nginx.conf should be just fine for your default install.  Just remember that pages are served from /usr/share/nginx/html (how about some standards people - kinda tired of everybody doing there own thing).  Anyway setup /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default as follows

 

 

server {

        listen 80;

        listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;

 

        root /usr/share/nginx/html;

        index index.html index.htm default.aspx Default.aspx;

 

        server_name www.servername.com;

 

        location / {

                       root /usr/share/nginx/html;

                        index default.aspx Default.aspx;

                        fastcgi_index Default.aspx;

                        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

                        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

        }

}

 

 

# HTTPS server

 

#server {

#       listen 443;

#       server_name www.servername.com;

#

#       root html;

#       index index.html index.htm default.aspx Default.aspx;

#

#       ssl on;

#       ssl_certificate cert.pem;

#       ssl_certificate_key cert.key;

#

#       ssl_session_timeout 5m;

#

#       ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

#       ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES";

#       ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

#

#       location / {

#                       root /usr/share/nginx/html;

#                       index default.aspx Default.aspx;

#                       fastcgi_index Default.aspx;

#                       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

#                       include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

#       }

#}

 

 

 

 

 

Third - Dump your ASP.Net application to /usr/share/nginx/html

 

Fourth - Start nginx by typing "/etc/init.d/nginx start"

 

Lastly - Fire up the fastCGI and Mono code to handle compilation

 

fastcgi-mono-server /root=/usr/share/nginx/html /socket=tcp /applications=*:80:/:.,*:443:/:. /port=9000 /address=127.0.0.1 /appconfigfile=Web.config
