I have a CentOS 5.x server running Mono 2.8.1 and mod_mono 2.8 with apache2.
Every time I deploy a site from visual studio 2010 to my server by ftp, and navigate to the site, I get a 404 not found error page.
Sites in other subdomains (virtual hosts) are not affected.
Performing a restart of httpd using /etc/init.d/httpd restart fixes the problem, and I can view my ASP site again. Obviously restarting the entire httpd process is less than adequate.
My guess is that this is similar to application domains in IIS. Is there a way to 'recycle' and app domain in mod_mono? Can I set this to happen on deployment?
You should be able to do /etc/init.d/httpd reload to force Apache to re-read its files from /etc/apache without it having to restart.
