title: Is Mono capable of hosting ASP.NET MVC WebAPI in mod_mono yet?
body: <p>Pretty much as the title says - I've tried to get this going as per:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.integratedwebsystems.com/2011/12/get-started-with-amazon-ec2-run-your-net-mvc3-razor-site-in-the-cloud-with-linux-mono-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.integratedwebsystems.com/2011/12/get-started-with-amazon-ec2-run-your-net-mvc3-razor-site-in-the-cloud-with-linux-mono-2/</a></p>
  
  <p>And whilst I can get a very simple ASP MVC 4 site going - anything with a WebAPI project involved gives me 500s and very cryptic errors in my apache logs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    at System.Web.Util.HttpEncoder.GetCustomEncoderFromConfig () [0x00000] in &lt;filename unknown&gt;:0 
    at System.Lazy`1[System.Web.Util.HttpEncoder].InitValue () [0x00000] in &lt;filename unknown&gt;:0 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm guessing not but want to know if I'm doing something basic wrong!</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.</p>
