How to get mono develop xsp2 accessible from my lan?

On Windows/Visual Studio, the program that creates the asp.net aware web server is "webdev. Exe".

I am writing an asp.net mvc project on my ubuntu laptop. I want to be able to see how the website looks on my mac and winndows boxes. How can I get monodevelop to start xsp2 so that it listens on an external IP?

My ufw firewall is off. I have looked in man xsp2, I can see you can set the IP to listen on but can't see how you get monodevelop to launch it with different options. Edit: I want to get monodevelop to start xsp2 (i.e.

When I hit f5/ctrl+f5 for debugging) so it listens externally (I know how to launch it on it's own). I did a ps -aux and found monodevelop launches xsp2 like this: /usr/bin/mono --debug --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:35479 /usr/lib/mono/2.0/xsp2. Exe --port 8080 --address 127.0.0.1 --nonstop --verbose I need to get monodevelop to launch xsp2 with --address 0.0.0.0 but how?

Edit 2: Running this with my project dir as my current directory works fine: /usr/bin/mono /usr/lib/mono/2.0/xsp2. Exe --port 8080 --address 0.0.0.0 --nonstop Which is ok, but I don't get the useful debugging stuff because I am running it outside of monodevelop. I have now tried editing my web.

Config to add the following: ... which does not work. Monodevelop still launches xsp2 with 127.0.0.1 on the command line, which I take it is overriding the value in the web.config. This is the same whether I debug (f5) or run (ctrl f5).

Is it possible to get monodevelop to start xsp2 with a different --address? Ubuntu mono monodevelop xsp2 link|improve this question edited Sep 5 '11 at 8:19 asked Sep 4 '11 at 20:04simon20618 89% accept rate.

On Windows/Visual Studio, the program that creates the asp.net aware web server is "webdev. Exe". The equivalent for Ubuntu/Mono should be "xsp2": mono.wikia.com/wiki/Mono_equivalents_to_... You need to: 1) Make sure your firewall is open to your xsp2 port (typically not port 80!

) 2) Make sure your LAN can resolve Ubuntu's hostname (or connect to ubuntu by ipv4 address) 3) Are you using this syntax? Mono mod-mono-server. Exe options http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/xsp2.1.html 4) You can configure your settings (e.g. Port#, protocol, etc) from the command line (as the above man page) or in AppSettings.

As I said, my firewall is off. Yes I am connecting to the correct IP and port number (8080), and I have connectivity form my mac/windows boxes to my laptop. I've edited my question to make it a bit more clear.

Q: Otherwise, did you try any of the available command-line options and/or AppSettings file settings? – paulsm4 Sep 4 '11 at 22:18 Running it manually is fine (edit 2 above). Good point on the appsettings.

Somehow missed that when I first looked at the man page. Unfortunately, it seems to have no effect setting MonoServerAddress as described above. I'm starting to think this may be a limitation of the monodevelop asp.net debugging environment.

I don't get the useful debugging stuff that's because you omit mono command line parameters --debug --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:35479.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
