I have mono 2.11 set up with my nginx 1.0.15 webserver running on centos 6.2. I built it from source and xps2, xps4 and fastcgi-mono-server2 work as expected. The problem is when I try and run fastcgi-mono-server4. When I run:

fastcgi-mono-server4 /applications=site:/:/srv/www/html/ /socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000 /loglevels=Debug /printlog=true

Here is what I get from fastcgi-mono-server2:

And this is what I get from fastcgi-mono-server4:

I do not see what I am doing wrong. Any help would be great.

EDIT: Reworked things and now I am getting a 502 Error for Bad Gateway. The logs still look the same.

Looked in my error log for Nginx and found many entries like this:

2012/06/18 13:56:01 [error] 3108#0: *4 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.128.121, server: site, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "site"

I get the same response whether the fastcgi-mono-server4 is on or not. It always shows a 502 error now.

My sample MVC3 application is working fine on Mono 2.10.8.1 from badgerports.org (I use ubuntu).

After installing Mono 2.11.2 from source the same application would always return a 502 Bad Gateway just like in your case.

My nginx logs looked like this:

[error] 3384#0: *101 upstream sent unexpected FastCGI record: 3 while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "localhost:8000"

After invoking fastcgi-mono-server4 with the printlog option set to true

sudo /opt/mono-2.11.2/bin/fastcgi-mono-server4 /printlog=True /applications=/:/var/www/mono/Mvc3Template /socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000

It would generate this stacktrace after visiting localhost:8000/

Here is some of my configuration:

#/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mono

 server {
         listen   8000;
         server_name  localhost;
         access_log   /var/log/nginx/mono.access.log;
         error_log    /var/log/nginx/mono.error.log;
         location / {
                 root /var/www/mono/Mvc3Template;
                 index index.html index.htm default.aspx Default.aspx;
                 fastcgi_index /Home/Index; # Points to HomeController Index Action
                 fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                 include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
         }
 }

I found a solution to my problem here: bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2876 (What bugs me is that it's supposively been fixed on February 2012 - the mono I compiled was released in June afaik yet it didn't work out of the box )

I made a script based on the suggestions found there that fixes the mono installation, just point the PREFIX variable to your mono directory and run it:

#!/bin/bash

# Your mono directory
PREFIX=/opt/mono-2.11.2


FILES=('mod-mono-server4'
       'fastcgi-mono-server4'
       'xsp4')

cd $PREFIX/lib/mono/4.0

for file in "${FILES[@]}"
do
   cp "$file.exe" ../4.5
done


cd $PREFIX/bin

for file in "${FILES[@]}"
do
  sed -ie 's|mono/4.0|mono/4.5|g' $file
done

After this the application "works", but it's not quite there yet. It doesn't 502 any longer, and I get a nice stacktrace...

System.Web.Compilation.CompilationException

Description: Error compiling a resource required to service this request. Review your source file and modify it to fix this error.

So I still have things to figure out myself, but I hope something from this will be helpful to you.

  • This worked for me nicely. Luckily I didn't have to change anything with my code. Also, just so you know I am now up to 3.0.3 and you need to do it there too. Feb 11, 2013 at 21:49
