Hey guys I’m completely new to this whole hosting on linux thing. I’m looking for some help hosting my .net website. I’m using apache2 and have everything set up as if I was doing it on a windows machine but when I navigate to the site via URL it displays the source code as plan text and thats all I see. I’m running openSuse 10.3, can anybody give me a few pointers? Thanks!

openSUSE 10.3 has not been updated or security patched for about 15
months–DO NOT connect it to the internet…while it is still
probably more secure than 99% of all the windows machines out there,
it is still vulnerable…
move to 11.2 or 11.3, and then ask again…
where/how did you get 10.3 anyway?

Its been sitting on one of our servers FOREVER. Longer than I have been with this particular company. How would I do this if I were running version 11.x? I guess I will upgrade

You need mod_mono to host ASP.NET pages with apache2. And - configure apache accordingly.

are you sure it is openSUSE 10.3 or is it SUSE Enterprise Linux Server
version 10 SP 3??
the latter is still supported, by Novell…check in with them at
forums.novell.com
you should be able to learn exactly what you have with with any of these:
cat /etc/SuSE-release
cat /etc/issue
lsb_release -sd |cut -f2 -d ""\"
cat /proc/version <NO

I’m afraid its actual openSuse 10.3. Like I said, its been on that particular server for awhile now
I’m afraid that unless something has changed I’m not aware of, you can’t really deploy ASP.NET on anything but a Windows box. Last I checked, the Mono project has mostly reverse engineered all non-web C#, is still building out VB but can’t touch essential parts of “web” ASP.NET due to various legal issues.
Of course, if your objective isn’t seamless and nearly complete compatibility between the two OS platforms using Microsoft’s ASP.NET, you probably could build a mono website on one platform and deploy it on the other platform with the same mono libraries.

Apparently if you take some effort to port, you can run ASP.NET apps on Mono.

The financial advantages of running on commodity rack servers running license-free Linux are obvious.
Note that I haven’t been involved in this personally, but I see many job ads mentioning ASP.NET and Linux servers in the same posting and together with the documentation above, I believe this to be the case.

don’t expose it to the internet or internals with a grudge…

The very first topic Q&A listed in the FAQ link is far more significant than how it’s worded, those functions not supported (including Web Parts) extends to other non-Microsoft frameworks like Dotnetnuke.
So, sure you can write a custom ASP.NET site from scratch. But, IMO one of the most important time and cost saving features when considering a technology is the ability to re-use or plug in widely available code and the SharePoint and Dotnetnuke frameworks are the most widely used ASP.NET frameworks by far.
As I noted, not only are those two frameworks not supported but it’s also likely they never will be (unless some very unexpected development happens).
IMO,
Tony
Yes, but it isn’t as dire as you made it sound, is it?
I’m afraid that unless something has changed I’m not aware of, you can’t really deploy ASP.NET on anything but a Windows box.
As with all platforms like this, caveat emptor as to how much you want to get mired into proprietary lock-in.
Ken,
I would never recommend planning any kind of serious web project without a powerful website framework. It might be different for a minimal billboard or learning experience, but a reliable, extensible framework can shave thousands of dollars, even tens of thousands of dollars off project costs by jumpstarting with reliable, proven bug-free code that delivers a range of complex, often very difficult functionality.
Unless the someone really wanted me to start enumerating the long list of advanced functionality I expect from a “Starter framework,” especially Open Source like Dotnetnuke I’ll leave that to another time and place,
Tony
