best way to get started in setting up Mono for ASP.NET on Mac


I have recently gained access to a Mac. I am wondering if anyone has any tips/advice for setting up Mono on a mac for development and execution of ASP.NET? Most resources point to Linux implementations which tend to differ a lot from the way Mac's do things. Any tips or advice would be helpful


Solution

  • To launch the development ASP.NET server, just open a terminal window and run the "xsp2" command from the Mono installation.

    The only thing that is missing from the Mono distribution on the Mac compared to Linux is the Apache module, that one you will have to compile yourself if you want to deploy your application in production on OSX.
