I noticed recently that Mono(version 4.4.2) distorts the rendering of aspx web pages on Raspberry PI 3 running Raspbian as shown below. When I setup apache, mod_mono_server4 and Mono(version 4.4.2) on Ubuntu 16.04 with x86_64 processor, I noticed that aspx web pages do not undergo distortion.

Why does this happen and how could we fix it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Can you upload a couple of screen grabs so we can see what you are talking about.

  • @Steve Robillard, I just realized that uploading a couple of screenshots could jeopardize our customer relationships and our competitive advantage. What other information may I provide regarding the distortion of the rendering of aspx web pages on the Raspberry PI 3?

  • Without a picture I don't know that anyone will be able to answer your question. Why can't you blur or obfiscate the sensitive info?

I discovered yesterday that the distortion occurs because the Chrome browser throws an HTTP error 400 or 403 when it encounters 192.168.10.31/Content/xyz.css or 192.168.10.31/scripts/abc.js. The css files control how the aspx webpages are presented.

I diagnosed this error by using curl -I 192.168.10.31/Content/xyz.css .

I solved this problem by using an AliasMatch regex file-path|directory-path with alternation as follows:

AliasMatch aspx file path regex| css file path regex| js file regex filepath/$2/$3.$4

preceded by

Alias /Content /home/uw/DevelopmentX64/HVR-Web-App/Content

and to specifically prevent the HTTP error 403 Forbidden which one can find in /var/log/apache2/error.log 

<Directory "/home/uw/DevelopmentX64">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

 and 

<Directory "/home/uw/DevelopmentX64/HVR-Web-App">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I will fill in the details at 8:00 A.M today.

  • I know you have client privacy issues, but it is not apparent from the picture what is wrong. As an aid to others who come after you may I suggest you upload a screenshot from the working version as a comparison.

  • Then may I suggest that you edit your original question and change distort to missing styles or stylesheet. One of the reasons I asked for the original pic was because when I read distort I was imagining a box that was not rectilinear.
