Hi, I installed Apache(PHP-Triad) in hopes of using it as a local server to test websites before they are published, but my problem is the website I currently want to test is out of asp. It will not reconoginise the asp files, it just pulls them up as text. What can I do? Thanks!
 
I also need help with this. Does anyone know if i can install asp support on XP home edition?

Thanks
 
ASP is a Microsoft thing, youd need to run IIS and use that to be able to run ASP files.

A language that competes very much with ASP is PHP, mabey check that out :).
 
Apache ASP is not all that fast, and doesnt always work as expected.
 
Ok, I went blank. What is IIS, and I am using Windows XP Pro.

The reason I am not using PHP is because the website is already designed, and I just have to make a few minor modifications.

I already have php on my computer but I need asp to test a web site I am creating at college. I am creating it using FrontPage ( :( ) and I need asp support to feed info from a registration page, into a database.
 
ok, I found IIS-Under Control Pannel, Add and Remove Programs, Windows Programs. But now how do I use it? Where is my "root directory?" Thanks!
 
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
You can set the options for it in control panel>administrative tools>Internet information Services.
 
I copied my files into it and how do I open the website? I clicked on my default.asp file and it still comes up with just text.
 
It says unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 when I try to start IIS. I made sure I shut off Apache.
 
I think I got it working. Thanks! I just had to change the port number.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
