Apache and ISAPI

[Rouslan]

Is Apache for UNIX ISAPI compliant? If it isn't, is there a module or something to allow it to use ISAPI extensions?

You might want to take a look at "mod_isapi" in the Apache documentation appropriate for your version.

Unfortunately it says mod_isapi is only for win32. I guess I should look at other tools for the job.

I assumed you were running Apache on Win32, because ISAPI only exists on Win32 -- it's a Mi¢ro$oft-specific protocol.

What, specifically, are you trying to do?

I was just trying to get database access to a webpage. This is actually for a friend and his client. I have some experiance with ATL servers but I didn't realize his client had a UNIX.

You don't need ISAPI for that. ISAPI exists to extend the integral functionality of a web server. For example, the VBScript engine that is shipped with every IIS installation is ISAPI code.

Apache provides a similar functionality in its module plugin system. And Apache modules tend to be more OS-agnostic than ISAPI modules.
