Thanks for the replies. I did made some progress, that specific error is my xsp was quite old, I built it from the latest tarball on Mono's website but it is outdated, so I had to get it from github.
After that I got another missing method exception: System.Web.Routing.RouteCollection.get_AppendTrailingSlash. This method does not exist currently in mono (I read it's on the current github tree but not on releases). So obviously it's because my app was using MS assemblies. So I installed Mono and MonoDevelop 5.1 from tarballs on a desktop. Then opened the solution removed all Package References and added References to the right assemblies on /usr/local/lib/mono/4.5 and deleted everything in the bin directory. It still wouldn't compile because it doesn't find the ViewBag property on the Controller class (I guess because it's a dynamic type and I guess Mono can't handle it), so I created quick custom ViewBag extension and it compiled but I still get the same error so I look on the bin directory and they're back! I don't know where MonoDevelop got them cause I deleted them from packages directory. So I deleted everything from the bin directory except for my DLL and a couple third party DLLs (everything else is in the GAC), then without recompiling I ran from my project directory root. xsp4 --root . --applications /:. now I'm getting: System.InvalidOperationException The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched: ~/Views/Default/Index.aspx ~/Views/Default/Index.ascx ~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx ~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx ~/Views/Default/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Default/Index.vbhtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.vbhtml But Views/Default/Index.cshtml is there with rwx permission for everyone. As a desperate move I even tried copying the View directory to my home directory in case it was interpreting ~ to be my home dir instead of the app root. So right now I'm stuck. I'm using the right case on the url. Any suggestions?
