I am currently attempting to setup a home webserver. I have a lot of experience programming in C# and have been using Visual Studio and IIS for years. I recently decided to make the move to Linux and have been rebuilding my code bases using MonoDevelop. I have them compiling on my development machine, so I am setting up a home server with Fedora 22 Server, and Apache 2.4.
Using nothing but the default configuration the server is able to serve html pages without a problem, but when I installed Mono, and its dependencies, I have been getting various errors, and they are not detailed enough for someone with my limited experience to resolve. I have spent the entire week working on the issue, and here is where I am stuck.
When browsing to http://71.41.214.194/LDC-Demo/index.aspx, I get a "503 Service Unavailable" error in the browser. When looking at the Apache Error log I get the following:
[Fri Oct 09 15:22:41.809588 2015] [:error] [pid 7577] Failed to connect to mod-mono-server after several attempts to spawn the process.
Since that is not enough to discern the issue, I restarted Apache and tried to reload the page (I was hoping for a related error that could help me chase down the problem)

After researching each of these messages to the best of my ability, I could not find anything that was related to the issue. I did find that I could see some more details if I ran the command "journalctl -xe -cat".

There is a lot more information in these messages, but I am still having a problem finding the cause. The last 5 lines are repeated three times.
I have tried making modifications to the apache config file (httpd.conf) as well as to the mod_mono.conf file, but nothing seems to get me past the problem.
In my current configuration the mod_mono.conf file is unmodified from the default configuration, and the only change that I have made to httpd.conf is to add a virtual host section as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName LDC-Demo
ServerAdmin root@localhost
ServerAlias LDC-Demo
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/LDC-Demo/
MonoServerPath LDC-Demo "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4"
MonoDebug LDC-Demo true
MonoSetEnv LDC-Demo MONO_IOMAP=all
MonoApplications LDC-Demo "/:/var/www/html/LDC-Demo"
<Location "/LDC-Demo">
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
MonoSetServerAlias LDC-Demo
SetHandler mono
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$" no-gzip dont-vary
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Any ideas would be appreciated, as I stated above, I have been working on this all week, and am not making much progress.
getenforceThen to temporarily change the setting I used the following command:setenforce 0Finally, restart Apache:apachectl restartI refreshed the web browser and the page loaded correctly. To make the setting permanant, edit the selinux file:nano /etc/sysconfig/selinuxI rebooted the server, and tried to load the webpage again. Eureka! everything is working. – Levi C.
