MVC Framework with mod_aspdotnet

[Electronjockey <ele...@ho...>]

Apache 2.2.15 with mod_aspdotnet built on VS 2008 from latest source.

I just wanted to share with the group my latest success.
I have MVC 1.0 and 2.0 up and running on Apache using our little module.
Cracking MVC 1.0 wasn't too too bad. I managed to get several 
configurations working, but the one below is the simplest. It is a 
matter of configuring the <Directory> using the SetHandler directive to 
asp.net. This will force all requests to be handled by the module. Since 
that means all requests, including static content, you can end up with 
some odd output if you don't exclude it. I did this in the <Location> 
directive setting the SetHandler to none. Alternatively you could list 
out file extensions.

    <Directory "/htdocs/MvcApplication1">

       # Set custom headers
       <IfModule headers_module>
          Header set X-Powered-By "ASP.NET"
       </IfModule>

       SetHandler asp.net
       Options FollowSymlinks
       AspNet Files Virtual
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
       DirectoryIndex Default.aspx
    </Directory>

    <Location ~ "^/MVCTest/Content/.*">
       SetHandler none
    </Location>

MVC 2.0 was only a little more complicated because it eliminated the 
Default.aspx physical file, which was little more than a placeholder.
I had to employ mod_rewrite to force a 301 to the home controller at /home.

    <Directory "/htdocs/MVC2TestApp">

       # Set custom headers
       <IfModule headers_module>
          Header set X-Powered-By "ASP.NET"
       </IfModule>

       Options FollowSymlinks
       SetHandler asp.net
       AspNet Files Virtual
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all

       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /MVC2Test/
       RewriteRule ^$ Home [R=301]
    </Directory>

    <Location ~ "^/MVC2Test/Content/.*">
       SetHandler none
    </Location>
