First the good news. I've finished coding the manual data entry part of my software and it all works just fine on my development box. The bad news is that I'm having difficulties deploying it to my Linux server.
Yesterday was a very long day spent in work trying to get it successfully deployed, but ultimately to no effect. There appear to be two problems. Firstly my remote business logic component does not appear to be listening as it should on the designated port on the Linux server. It works fine on my development (Windows) machine and can be called remotely from the Linux box by a test client that I've coded.
Secondly, my ASP.NET application, when running under Linux, does not appear to be able to create an instance of the remote object, even when it's looking for it on my development box where we know it works. We know that because the test client can call it from the Linux box. So why can't the ASP.NET pages?
I've posted to the mono mailing list, but not had any very helpful replies yet. This is probably not surprising because traffic is always less at the weekend. I'm monitoring the list, of course, but I think I'll post again on Monday if I haven't heard anything.
The highs and lows of postgraduate study. This must be the lowest.
