I followed the instructions for installing mono from source (again,
mod-mono is from source, not from apt) which basically directed me to
add the following to my httpd.conf:

I have had this problem for a while now, but now I need to install
squirrelmail which apparently requires clean apache upgrades. The error
message recommended me getting in contact if I don't know how to fix it
- so here I am. I think I need to generate a .info file, but I the
semantics of such a thing are beyond me.


Hi, please install apache-dev and read
/usr/share/doc/apache-dev/REAMDE.modules
It will explain to you what a .info file is and how to create a proper one
for your apache installation.

The above is a warning to prevent external module to mangle apache
configuration (given that the user is using standard debian tools for it).

Nothing to be scared about. it's one line and one file :-)

At the danger of giving the next guy a fish instead of showing him how to fish, as you kindly did, here is the lazy man's answer:

Create file: /usr/lib/apache/1.3/500mod_mono.info with contents:
LoadModule: mono_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libmod_mono.so

Cheers!
Mike
