Install mono 3.0.2 on a virtual machine running opensuse Linux on Windows azure and test ASP. NET webapi (Mono 3.0.4 is successful)

Microsoft's Windows azure also supports Linux virtual machine services. Below I use azure's Virtual Machine Service to run an opensuse Virtual Machine to test mono 3.0.2 and test ASP. NET webapi fails.

Install system patches and updates:
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo zypper update

Install wget
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo zypper install wget

Check that the system version is x86_64. Download the corresponding mono 3.0.2 installation package:
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo uname-
Linux mono3 3.1.10-1.10-default #1 SMP mon May 28 14:19:15 UTC 2012 (94036a4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Wget performs operations on the robots.txton the website. If the robots.txt file contains User-Agent: * disallow:/, wget cannot perform mirroring or downloading. You can use the-e robots = off parameter to bypass this restriction.

Download a file with a specified suffix. For example, download only the file http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.0.2/linux/x64/.rpmfile:
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo wget-Nd-r-L1 -- no-parent-e robots = off-a. RPM http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.0.2/linux/x64/

Confirm that the mono package has been fully downloaded.
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> ls

Install all downloaded mono packages
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo zypper install *. rpm

Check that mono 3.0.2 is successfully installed.

Installation of jexus 5.2
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo wget http://linuxdot.net/down/jexus-5.2.tar
Azureuser @ mono3:/usr/src/local> sudo tar-zxvf jexus-5.2.tar.gz

For more information, see install mono 2.10.8 and jexus 6.0 in 32-bit and 64-bit centos 5.0.

Then put an ASP. NET web API Project (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/Contact-Manager-Web-API-0e8e373d) to test, webapi project still cannot run, continue to test the next version, you can access this address to see the specific error http://ndon.cloudapp.net/default.htm. Some students in reporting this problem http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/ASP-NET-Web-API-on-Mono-3-0-Could-not-load-type-System-Web-Http-WebHost-HttpControllerHandler-td4657079.html, and later in Mono 3.0.4 on the success.
