[RESOLVED] Embedded Web Server that supports ASP.Net 4

[TCarter]

Hello guys,

I am trying to make a asp.net app easier to use for my client; Currently I have him download Abyss Web Server and configure it, however that is causing him headaches. I am now looking into a Embedded Web Server.


I have read I can use Mono's Web Server that will run off of .NET versus the Mono platform if on windows; And I tried to use it, however I can't get anywhere special.

ASPNetServe looks great, but it appears it only uses .NET 2-3.x, and unfortunately the controls i use will not allow me to downgrade from 4 to 3.5. I keep receiving not declared messages.


While using Mono.WebServer, I am using the following code:

Imports System.Net
Imports Mono.WebServer
 
Public Class myserv
    Dim port As Integer = 80
    Dim path As String = "E:\Clients\Chuck\Website\Photoviewer\Photoviewer\"
    Dim websource As XSPWebSource = New XSPWebSource(IPAddress.Any, port)
    Dim WebAppServer As ApplicationServer = New Mono.WebServer.ApplicationServer(websource)
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
 
 
        'Dim cmdLine As String = port & ":/:" & path
 
        WebAppServer.AddApplication(vbNull, 80, "/", path)
        'websource.SetListenAddress(80)
        WebAppServer.Start(True)
 
        MsgBox("Servers Started")
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        WebAppServer.Stop()
        MsgBox("Servers Stopped")
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub myserv_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
    End Sub
End Class

The server starts up, however when I try to visit http://localhost/ it just hangs. Nothing gets returned to the browser.



Any help or recommendations of me using a easily controlled standalone, or some form of embedded web server would be fantastic. Thanks.

Fixed the issue.

The debug messages were actually being sent to a console which helped me fix it.

My path was wrong, and for some reason it was also looking for the Mono.WebServer & Mono.Security dll's in the website...Once I did that, everything worked fine.

Excuse me, sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm wondering how to fix this too. How exactly did you go about fixing this?
