mono 3.0.2 + xsp + lighttpd delivers empty page
- by Nefal Warnets
I needed MVC 4 (and basic .NET 4.5) support so I downloaded mono 3.0.2 and deployed it on an lighttpd 1.4.28 installation, together with xsp-2.10.2 (was the latest I could find).
After going through the config tutorials I managed to get the fastcgi server to spawn, but all pages are served empty. even if I go to nonexistant urls or direct .aspx files I get an empty HTTP 200 response.
The log file on Debug shows nothing suspicious.
Here is the log:

var.mono_fcgi_root = server.document-root
var.mono_fcgi_applications = "/:."
The document root for this server is /data/htdocs. The asp.net files reside there.
lighttpd error logs show nothing.
Every help is greatly appreciated!
