Does Apache support ASP?

Good morning,

Am I correct in assuming that Apache does not support ASP and that I'll have
to convert any scripts to PHP? - or is there a 'patch' that can be installed
to ensure that the server can recognise ASP?

I am currently experimenting with both PHP and ASP and was hoping to run
both on the same web server to compare speed etc.

Many thanks,


Andrew

The only thing that "works" is SunONE (formerly Chili!ASP), but it
works only for very simple scripts and is quite expensive.
If you want ASP, use IIS.

Which is expensive, too!

Not really, if you have XP Pro, IIS and ASP are included... However, if
you don't have XP Pro, that is expensive. ;)

You can setup only one virtual host on a workstation IIS.

Didn't know that this was a concern...

Apart from SunONE you have a Perl module that allows you to execute ASP
scripts... written in Perl.

If you're to convert to PHP, you might find the asp2php program useful. Its
conversion is not perfect at all but it's a good start point.
