Heh, maybe I mis explained the issue.

Well, mono-server-admin.conf actually *does* that. It creates a
confd-style directory (like exim does and also as many other Debian
Server Applications) in a certain path (/etc/mono-server/conf.d) with a
file that will have the main data of your webapp (path, alias, and
optionally port and vhost).=20

For example, if you add a webapp using mono-server-admin.conf (the way I
highly recommends to Debian users) called: myapp.

# mono-server-admin.conf add --path=3D/where/your/aspx/files/are
--alias=3D/myapp --vhost=3Dlocalhost --port=3D80

NOTE: If you don't reclare vhost and port is OK, mono-server-admin.conf
will use localhost and 80 port (the port most common used by web
servers).

The, it will create

/etc/mono-server/conf.d/myapp/10_myapp

With the data:

alias =3D webapp
path =3D /where/your/aspx/files/are

And if you declared vhost and port they will be also added.

Then, there's another nifty tool called: mono-server-update.conf. It
will read those confd directories/files and create the Apache file
(mono-server-hosts.conf) and also the debian.webapp. And tan tan..

As I said, conf.d is not an 'Apache' File/Directory, it's just a way to
maintainer/admin your webapps. Take a look at exim4.conf, apt.conf, and
others :-)
