How to enable ASP.NET support in Fedora
Install packages
Use yum to install Apache, mod_mono and the dependencies to xsp.

Install xsp from rawhide
If you install xsp from the standard Fedora repository, you get this error in httpd error_log.
500 Internal Server Error
System.InvalidOperationException: mod_mono and xsp have different versions.Use this command to install xsp from the rawhide repository.
yum install --enablerepo=rawhide xsp

Set SELinux in permissive mode to avoid the following error.

[error] Failed to connect to mod-mono-server after several attempts to spawn the process.To put the system into permissive mode, issue this command.
setenforce 0
Managing the policies for SELinux is beyond the scope of this article, but you can find more information about SELinux in the Fedora SELinux Project Page (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux).
