Adding ASP to Apache

[Bengal313]

Is there a way I can add ASP to my apache server on my XP Pro Desktop. Are there any plug ins or module I acan add to give me this functionality. I am trying to get away from IIS because i am having problems with it. But, I need ASP.

There is a program called Apache::ASP but I belive it is only for the Linux version of apache. I guess assume if you are running the Windows version of apache and need ASP support you'd just use IIS.

What kinds of problems are you having with it?

I don't know what I did, after getting my cable moden installed and updating Windows. IIS 5 just stop working. I posted the full details on the web server section"

I installed IIS 5 on my xp pro machine. Everything worked great for a while. Then couple of months later something went wrong. The server is not working. I tried restarting it nothing. I look in the services part. It's there and running on automatic. But when I type http://localhost , nothing error page. I went to the IIS setting (manager) and under the Internet Information Services i do see my Desktop (local machine) listed. But before there was a tree structure that broke down into ,"web: and SMTP. But right now there is nothing under there. Weird! I ried reinstalling it but nothing. Only thing I did before it started acting crazy was get a cable modem installed and did the windows updates. Can someone please help! "

On your original question --> 2 options:
- Learn Perl, use Perl as scripting language and install the Apache::ASP component
- by a package from Chilisoft (pretty expensive, forgotten how it's called be Google for it), and 'port' your asp's to an Apache ready format (i believe their soft converts it to asp's with Perl as scriptinglanguage)
