How can I debug XSP in monodevelop with my MVC Application?

Question

I cloned the mono xsp project at: https://github.com/mono/xsp.git and built xsp in mono develop but I having trouble getting it to run. I get the same error in the IDE or on the command line. My end goal is to run my site while debugging xsp. How can I fix the error?

Answer 1

The key to the problem is that mono could not find the assembly, Mono.WebServer.XSP. I added MONO_PATH with value /home/myuser/Downloads/git/xsp/src/Mono.WebServer.XSP/bin/Debug to the environment variables of the project. With the addition of some command line parameters I was able to run my ASP.net site.
