Apache & .asp

[indesisiv]

I am a real newbie at this so any help would be appreciated.
I have installed Apache 2 , php and perl.

Apache 2 works fine for all html and php stuff.
What i want to do is set it up so that it can serve .asp files.

This is all on my loacal machine running win 98.

I have read as many of the setup instructions and have (i think) edited the httpd.conf correctly.

Can it server .asp files so that i can test it.???

I have it installed to
Apache : C:\program files\apache group\apache
Perl : C:\perl
PHP : C:\php

Anyone have any ideas or is it something really obvious.

Thanks for any help in advance.
Steve

Apache doesn't do "real" ASP, like IIS does, unless you install Sun ONE Active Server Pages (

Well, it can. Sort of.

ASP is an object interface definition, not a programming language. IIS comes stock with VBScript/ASP, which one uses to program web scripts. There is a partial implementation of ASP interfaces for perl.

I don't know why you'd want to run VBScript on Apache in the first place. PHP is better-documented, has more features, and is more commonly used than VBScript. perl has more capabilities than can be easily counted. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
