Hi,

You can install Mono using the following guide. I have used the latest trunk version available as of now to do the install:

cd; wget http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/snapshot/snapshot_sources/mono/mono-142439.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf mono-142439.tar.bz2
cd mono-142439
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

You would then need to install Nginx which can be easily accomplished by installing the latest Rails version from the panel.

You can then remove all the Rails specific parts from Nginx conf and the webapps directory.

Then, you would need to configure Nginx to use Mono using: http://mono-project.com/FastCGI_Nginx

Please note that the above guide contains many system level paths please be sure to change them to your own $HOME-specific paths and create appropriate directories and files if necessary.

You would also need to create a new Custom app (listening on port) so that you can reserve a port for Mono where you can run its FastCGI server.

Hope that helps!

To build FastCGI and thus the 'fastcgi-mono-server2' binary the commands are,

wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/xsp/xsp-2.10.tar.bz2
tar -xf xsp-2.10.tar.bz2 
cd xsp-2.10
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/home/<USERNAME>/lib/pkgconfig/'
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
install

Replace <username> with your username. The export command must be the directory for the file 'mono-nunit.pc' or there will be errors during make

Can you explain this in a bit more detail please? I followed the steps so far and got it installed. I need the custom app process and editing the configs process.

Information about custom applications is available in our documentation: Custom Applications

If you can tell us more about the application you're building, we might be able to assist with whatever configuration problem you're having.
