Public bug reported: I have filed this bug against asp.net-examples, but I don't really think, that this specific package is in error - it is just a good example of a generic error that has stopped me cold in testing my company's ASP.NET application on the Beta 1 of "trusty tahr".
Of course I cannot upload our entire application in a bug report, so I was kind of relieved to observe, that the problem could be reproduced by means of asp.net-examples. When I install asp.net-examples on "saucy salamander", it presents a nice, simple web page demonstrating certain ASP.NET mechanisms. When I do the same thing on a pristine installation of "trusty tahr", I get this exception: System.Web.Compilation.CompilationException : Unhandled Exception: Description: Error compiling a resource required to service this request. Review your source file and modify it to fix this error. Details: : Unhandled Exception: Error origin: Compiler Error source file: Exception stack trace: at System.Web.Compilation.AssemblyBuilder.BuildAssembly (System.Web.VirtualPath virtualPath, System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters options) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Web.Compilation.AssemblyBuilder.BuildAssembly (System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters options) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Web.Compilation.AppCodeAssembly.Build (System.String[] binAssemblies) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Web.Compilation.AppCodeCompiler.Compile () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.InitType (System.Web.HttpContext context) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 I have the same bug on my company's larger ASP.NET application, and I have reproduced the bug both on a server version of trusty, and a kubuntu trusty desktop - exactly the same performance. It is pretty obvious to me that the bug is not in asp.net-examples; most likely it is related to the fact that the basic mono distribution takes a great version hop between saucy and trusty - from 2.10.8.1 to 3.2.8. Some feature is simply not working! To be absolutely certain I rebuilt a fresh version of the xsp source package (source package for asp.net- examples) and installed that instead of the official trusty version - made no difference, the bug is still there. The asp.net-examples package is using mono-apache-server2, by ways of its post-installation script. I have of course also tried mono-apache- server4, but that fails in an entirely different way that will be reported in a separate launchpad bug. This report is not made from the "trusty" installation, that one is a test installation without access to the net, so you don't get all the stuff that apport would collect to you. Honestly, you don't need it to reproduce, just grab a pristine trusty installation and try it! However, a few important package versions: libapache2-mod-mono: 2.11+git20130708.6b73e85-4ubuntu1 mono-complete: 3.2.8+dfsg-4ubuntu1 mono-apache-server2: 3.0.11-1 I am willing to offer any possible kind of assistance in fixing this problem - my company had looked forward to upgrade to "trusty". But, to be honest, I don't think you really need my help - the problem is so trivial to reproduce, it ought to be pretty trivial to fix if you know the ropes. best regards Peder Chr.
