I've had some requests for a tutorial on installing BlogEngine.NET on Linux (and in particular Ubuntu).

Getting BlogEngine.NET itself to run is the easy part, the hard part is getting the latest release of Mono compiled from source on Ubuntu and getting mod_mono and apache2 configured together.

So to that end I'm starting a series of tutorials, beginning with the installation of Mono 1.2.6 from source on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). These instructions should also work on Ubuntu 6.10/7.04. The next tutorial will be focused on installing BlogEngine.NET itself.

Here's the first tutorial: Installing Mono from source on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)

If you should have any issues with the tutorial, either contact me directly or add a comment on this post, and I'll attempt to guide you through any problems you may have. Any feedback should also help in creating a troubleshooting section for the tutorial to help others out that may have the same issues.

I am a software developer / architect currently interested in combining .NET technologies with open-source operating systems. 

I am a member of the open-source BlogEngine.NET development team and focus mainly on ensuring Mono compatibility for the project.
