Checklist items to tick when porting ASP.NET MySql projects from .NET on Windows to Mono.NETon Ubuntu linux:
- Since Mysql is more case-sensitive on Linux, make sure that
[Database=](http://stackoverflow.com/a/26457971/2404470)names matches with actual database names in connection strings. Better, keep them in lowercase. - Make sure that MySql 5.6+ is installed since the default command
[sudo apt-get install mysql-server](http://xameeramir.github.io/install-mysql-ubuntu-linux/)installs version 5.5 - The version of MySql on Ubuntu Linux and Windows shall match
- MySql v5.5 tables doesn’t support FULLTEXT indices and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP features, upgrade from it
