I want to develop a C# tool which shall be run on an Apache

  • 0

I want to develop a C# tool which shall be run on an Apache Web Server whenever it is called via PHP (e.g. using the exec-command). Since I am new to this it would be great if you can help me:

1) If I compile the C#-code on my Windows-system using the Mono and the “msc”-command, will this create a file which is also executable in Linux, i.e. on the Apache Web Server? (it’s definitely executable in Windows) If not, how do I create Linux-executable files using Mono for Windows?

2) Is there something to consider when trying to call an application on an Apache Web Server via PHP? Permission rights?

    1: The first question on the Mono FAQ:

    Can Mono run binaries produced by Visual Studio?

    Yes, Mono can run binaries produced by Visual Studio, there is no need to recompile.

    Use our Mono Migration Analysis tool to check if everything that your application uses has been implemented in Mono or if there are special considerations to keep in mind.

    The Mono API today is somewhere in between .NET 2.0 and .NET 4.0 see our Roadmap for details about what is implemented.

    2: I can’t speak specifically for PHP, but I believe you’ll have to run the process using the mono executable (e.g. mono /path/to/exe/SomeTool.exe)
