mod_mono 2.10 problems with running Visual Basic asp.net pages

I am having real trouble running Visual Basic web apps using mod_mono v2.10

I installed the mono basic feature fine, using this tutorial:
http://blog.bennyland.com/2010/02/06...e-on-centos-5/

But using these files:
mod_mono-2.10.tar.bz2
mono-3.2.1.tar.bz2
xsp-2.10.tar.bz2

Leaving out the prefix directive in the ./configure script (because I am only doing this on a temporary sandbox server for now, nothing else is being tested on this server), so of course defaults to /usr/local

Which when I tried running ./configure when I decompressed the file: mono-basic-2.10.tar.bz2

The mono-basic application installed fine, but just keeps bringing up an error when I run the following asp.net page in Visual Basic:

Quote:

Application Exception
Runtime Error
A runtime error has occurred

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed (for security reasons).
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I know what's going on here, just not sure why this is happening is there any thing I have done wrong? C# worked perfectly.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Jeremy

PS this is the page I ran on the web using VB:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="vb" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <%Response.Write(now())%></div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

To install mod-basic I just did the ./configure and 'make && make install' did I miss anything by chance?

Hmm tried using the same versions 2.10 for each install and for some weird reason the basic one just doesn't seem to even bother running just outputs html.

I might just retry this though, very weird.
