Service won't start missing System.Web

[bob_dvd]

Hi Guys,

I am persisting with Deki on my Debian Etch hosted server, I have to say the installation instructions were almost entirely inaccurate. But I pressed on and I have made it through missing mod_proxy and "Allow from All" but now that I seem to have something running I am getting the error message:

"Your wiki is down"

So I checked the dekihost log and I get pleanty of errors, mostly indicating that System.Web is missing:
"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0,..."
"The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly"

I assume it is something to do with MONO_PATH, I added that to the init sh command but that didn't help. Anyone want to give me a clue?:)

Debian Etch,
Apache 2
MySQL 5

Ok,
It seems the default Mono install specified in one of the guides misses out System.Web 2, so I installed the mono installer from the mono project and then I had to add a MONO_PATH to point directly to the file in the new libs. Now that starts.

However now I get 400 Bad Request back from the server and it can't load settings on content.

Ok,

In my fight with apache I had changed the ProxyRewite rule in the deki conf to be my server name instead of localhost. Now it seems to be working!

Bob,

Welcome to the forums. Thanks for being persistent and sharing your findings!

While the wounds are still fresh in your memory, may I ask you to add clarifying instructions to the installer page?
http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki/Installation_and_Upgrade/1.8_%22Hayes%22_Official_Install_and_Upgrade_Guide

That would certainly help others as well. Thanks.

bob_dvd - That's strange. The install instructions have:

apt-get install mono-gmcs

mono-gmcs has libmono-system-web2.0-cil as a dependency so it _should_ definitely be installed:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/mono-gmcs

In vanilla Fedora 8, mono also doesn't come with all assemblies (System.web / mono-web). The fix for me was:

'yum install mono-web'

Hope that helps someone.
