Mono .net HTTP 500. Error
apache2, mono, ubuntu
Solution
Apparently you are trying to run code written using visual basic. For that, you need the `vbnc` compiler installed. Looking at the ubuntu packages, `vbnc` does not seem to be available in 12.04, only in 12.10 (in the mono-vbnc package). Also note that vbnc only supports .NET 2.0 as far as I know.
If you do not need VB support, you might already be good to go, just test using a C# page. Otherwise you could upgrade your whole distribution, install backported mono packages or install mono from source.
