I'm under the impression that www-config is being phased out for apache,
and AFAIK, it has never been intended for use with apache2. I asked on
debian-apache, but no one has replied yet.

If I understand things correctly, the current scheme allows a user with
root privileges to place files in the /etc/mono-server/conf.d directory
structure, and then run mono-server-admin.conf to generate /etc/mono-
server/mono-server-hosts.conf, which is then read by mod_mono to
determine which ASP.NET applications are available. Am I right?

This seems quite complicated. It solves the problem only for web servers
where the server administrator has resources to update the configuration
structure every time a user wants to add an ASP.NET app, or when the
user has access to the configuration structure. Perhaps if we solved the
problem in a more general way, without requiring so high privileges, it
would be less complicated and more user-friendly?

I think it should be possible for a user to write an ASP.NET app, drop
it into a directory under ~/public_html, edit a few lines of a .htaccess
file, and it should Just Work (tm). I don't know if mod_mono can do this
yet, has anyone tried?

Pablo, I'm looking at the xsp package now and I'll probably submit a
patch against that as well. Let's get free ASP.NET into shape! ;)
