Serving ASP.NET pages in Apache on CentOS 5
I'm starting to love ASP.NET and the ability to do everything in C# (I'm currently working on an internal silverlight app at work and creating a RESTful API is more fun in C#). Anyway, you can do a yum install mod_mono, but it's a pretty old version so I did some research and found a guide on building it yourself along with two other guides that were roughly the same, but not as good... (1, 2) and somehow ended up with a working server. This is a companion to that guide with more up to date versions of things. (it took me SEVERAL trial and error attempts to get things working :/ so hopefully i didn't miss any steps)
Let me preface this with the fact that if you're running one of the already supported OSs (debian or unbuntu for instance) you shouldn't follow this guide - instead you should just look on the mono website for information.
Installing Trac and Subversion on CentOS5
Installing Trac and Subversion on CentOS is pretty simple.
First, you need to install subversion - it was automatically installed for me already when I installed the OS, however I wanted to update it and found out that I couldn't do so until I deleted the i386 version.
Forwarding all mail to your ISP’s smtp server with postfix and CentOS 5.4
I needed to forward all server mails to external email addresses and I had to use my ISP's smtp to do it. This is because everything is blocked by my ISP to combat spammers just making their own smtp server at home and then running it all hours of the day. To do this, you should have postfix installed and running already.
Installing P5KPL-CM network drivers on CentOS 5.4
Once CentOS was installed, the first thing I had to do to make the server useful was to build and install the network drivers for myASUS P5KPL-CM Motherboard. Here's how to do it:
First, you're going to need the LinuxDrivers zip file. You'll need to unzip and then unrar l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4.rar (found in the LinuxDrivers/L1e_Lan directory in the zip). I had to do this on my Windows PC since I couldn't install unrar on the server (no network, remember?)
Once you're transfered the contents of l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4.rar to the server, follow these steps:
