Good evenig.

I'm wondering if there is away to remote debug MVC application running on Apache server from Visual Studio.
This is equipped with Mod_mono and Mono-server4 and it hosts the web site in a Lan.

I'm using Visual Studio in other PC connected to the same Lan. I need to debug some compatibility problems in Linux, so I'm looking for solution. I desired to connect remotely Visual Studio to apache server in Linux.

There is a solution to this scope?

What I have tried:

I try to remote connect from Visual Studio by Add server, but I can receive any signal from Linux server.

Ok. I tried to follow your suggestion. I have defined new entry in "Connect to remote system" in Cross Platform verifying correct connection. I have use "Native GDB" selection.
But I can't attach to process when I'm starting debug attaching to remote process, previous defined. I get this error message "Unable to start debugging. Attaching to process ... with GDB failed because of insufficient privileges".

How can I resolve this?

Did you install gdbserver on the linux target?

It's present only GDB package in Linux target. Do I need to install also GDB server?
Are there other requirements? How can I set GBD server?

I think it is mentionned in the article:
"In gdbserver mode, GDB is run locally, which connects to gdbserver on the remote system. Note that this is the only mode that the Linux Console window supports"
Since there is a strict process isolation between windows and linux, you need to have some kind of bridge between both systems: the windows gdb client / linux gdb server plays that role.

I have installed GDB server in remote machine. I have enabled remote connection as root user. Now Visual Studio can start correctly debugging attaching to Linux remote process.
But I have another problem: it seems breack points are desabled. Why? Is it normal condition?

What do you mean by "breakpoints are disabled"?

Viual Studio says "The breackpoint will not currently be hit. Module containing this breackpoint not yet loaded or breackpoint address could not be obtained".
But I have published the same project open in Visual Studio to the remote server.
