Configuring Virtual Directory for ASP.NET on Apache

Just add the necessary entry on /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

Alias /test "/Users/Michael/Projects/TestAspNetMvc/TestAspNetMvc/"
<Directory "/Users/Michael/Projects/TestAspNetMvc/TestAspNetMvc/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
AddMonoApplications default "/test:/Users/Michael/Projects/TestAspNetMvc/TestAspNetMvc/"
<Location /test>
 SetHandler mono
</Location>

Using that example, you can browse your TestAspNetMvc on http://127.0.0.1/test

The How-To Video:

ASP.NET on Mac OS X Snow Leopard at one fell swoop using mod_mono

Enable Apache first by ticking the checkbox for Web Sharing(System Preferences > Sharing > Web Sharing)

Type 127.0.0.1 in browser's address bar, then it should show:

Install gettext first: https://gist.github.com/1647940


Install Mono, get it at: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

Verify on Terminal if you have installed Mono...

mono -V

...should show this:

Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.9 (tarball Mon May  7 20:25:51 EDT 2012)
Copyright (C) 2002-2011 Novell, Inc, Xamarin, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
 TLS:           normal
 SIGSEGV:       normal
 Notification:  kqueue
 Architecture:  x86
 Disabled:      none
 Misc:          debugger softdebug 
 LLVM:          yes(2.9svn-mono)
 GC:            Included Boehm (with typed GC)

Paste this in your terminal(the next swoop will still have the effect of sudo(i.e. no need to re-enter password)) :

sudo mv /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en /Library/WebServer/Documents/x_index.html.en

And this(so that makes it two swoop ;-)) :

mkdir ~/swoop
cd ~/swoop
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/pkg-config /usr/bin/pkg-config
curl -O http://origin-download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.9.tar.bz2
tar xzf mono-2.10.9.tar.bz2
cd mono-2.10.9
./configure
make 
sudo make install
sudo sh -c "echo '\n\nInclude /etc/apache2/mod_mono.conf' >> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf"
echo "<center><img src='PoweredByMacOSXLarge.gif'><br><% int a = 7 * 6;%><%=a%> <%=new System.Random().Next()%></center>" > /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.aspx 
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart
echo 'Done'

Then refresh the 127.0.0.1 in your browser, you shall be able to see the the answer to life, the universe and everything
