[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1811444] Re: out-of-the-box monodoc-http fails to show documentation

[Daniel Llewellyn]

Also affects xenial, though mono-complete does not install the monodoc-
http package as a dependency. I needed to manually install monodoc-http
after mono-complete to test whether it failed.

Title:
  out-of-the-box monodoc-http fails to show documentation

Status in mono-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The out-of-the-box configuration for monodoc-http, which is pulled by
  installing mono-complete, does not find any documentation. It is
  configured to look for documentation at /mono/lib/monodoc-ios/ and
  reports an HTTP 500 error when trying to navigate to
  http://localhost:8084/monodoc.

  ----
  System.ArgumentException
  basedir
  Parameter name: Base documentation directory at '/mono/lib/monodoc-ios/' doesn't exist
  Description: HTTP 500.Error processing request.

  Details: Non-web exception. Exception origin (name of application or
  object): monodoc.

  Exception stack trace:
    at Monodoc.RootTree.LoadTree (System.String basedir, System.Boolean includeExternal) [0x00031] in <496c0b0510da4601a8fa1704154167ef>:0

  Should the documentation path be changed? what to? Should we change
  monodoc-http to ensure it depends upon an appropriate documentation
  package to provide the path that the server is configured to serve? Or
  should we do both?
