Just curious, if we can't figure it out, would you be willing to try the
1.0.9 packages I'm working on? Just to see if it is something added
since that version?

Normally, when I get a major bug like that, the error file has a strange
error up to 1-2 seconds later. That might also tell you if you are
having a permission or disconnect error.

I would double check that the /etc/mono-server/mono-server-hosts.conf
has the same basic information as the /etc/xsp/debian.webapp file. Also,
double check that /etc/apache2/mods-enables/mod_mono.conf points
to /etc/mono-server/mono-server-hosts.conf. Double checking doesn't
hurt.

It probably wouldn't hurt to try retrieving a static image under that
same URL. Just to make sure you don't have a permission or .htaccess or
other type of error.

Try starting mod-mono-server.exe --verbose (I got that from the --help).
It might give you a bit more information as it runs.
