is Windows 2000 Advanced Server supported?

[tbyrne]

Hi All,

I followed the Hayes official install guide and finally got everything installed. But now when I run the mindtouch.host bat file I get the following exeption:

2007-11-19 08:39:08,562 [1] INFO MindTouch.Dream.Http.HttpTransport - Startup(h
ttp://localhost/)

Unhandled Exception: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supp
orted on this platform.
at System.Net.HttpListener..ctor()
at MindTouch.Dream.Http.HttpTransport.Startup()
at MindTouch.Dream.DreamConsoleHost.ListenOn(Int32 httpPort, String[] address
es, String serverPath)
at MindTouch.Dream.DreamConsoleHost.Main(String[] args)
-------------------- shutting down

I'm running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Is that platform supported?

Thanks...
Tina

Hi tbyrne,

I ran into the same problem. .NET 2.0 doesn't include the http.sys service that DekiWiki needs on Windows 2000 (only on Window XP/2003/Vista). The only way around this is to install Mono, this will get the Wiki up and running but you may have a problem with extensions that use other applications like ImageMagick. Let me know if you go down this route as I've got that problem and it'd be good to know if I haven't messed something else up to cause it.

Hi daibach and the rest of the forum,

Thanks for that. I've now downloaded and installed Mono. I've added it to the PATH environment variable. But what else do I have to do so that Mindtouch finds Mono?

Thanks...

You have to prefix mindtouch.host.exe with mono (I think), like this:

mono mindtouch.host.exe ...

Where ... are the command line arguments.
