Monodoc error

[rk14]

I am very new to Mono & MonoDoc. Apologies if i am missing something very basic.

We use monodoc to generate internal API documentation. Our monodoc webserver is ok, but monodoc is unable to load the main menu. Instead i get an error such as -

Server Error in '/' Application

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

Stack Trace:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at Monodoc.RootTree.LoadTree (System.String basedir) [0x00000]
  at Monodoc.RootTree.LoadTree () [0x00000]
  at Mono.Website.Handlers.MonodocHandler..cctor () [0x00000]  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am unable to determine if this is a problem on the webserver side or a problem with the actual documentation itself.

I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay.

Which version of Mono is this?

This confuses me.  What do you mean that the "monodoc webserver" is OK,
show a message saying "Server Error in '/' Application".  Shouldn't the
"Server Error" message should be coming from the monodoc webserver?

Further confusing things, there is a Gtk# 'monodoc' GUI program, but I
find it highly unlikely that it would show a Server Error message...

There shouldn't be issues with the documentation itself, though there
may be something wrong with either the
$prefix/lib/mono/gac/monodoc/*/monodoc.dll.config file or the
$prefix/lib/monodoc/monodoc.xml file...

Knowing which version of Mono is involved (so I can see which versino of
LoadTree() is being used) would help.

Thanks,

Mono version info is -
Mono Version: 2.0.50727.1433;
ASP.NET Version: 2.0.50727.1433

Sorry for the confusing wording. Yes, the message is coming from the XSP
server. I'm unable to find any logging from XSP for more details.

Thanks,
roopa

That's not a mono version, that's an assembly version.

What's the output of 'mono --version'?

Here's the output of mono --version. We just install our version of the
monodoc package that includes our company logo etc.

You say you're using xsp?

Please run xsp with MONO_OPTIONS=--debug set, as that will provide line
numbers.

My current guess is that you're missing a monodoc.xml file, which should
be installed to $prefix/lib/monodoc/monodoc.xml.

Thanks,
