Apache, Linux and ASP

[AntiLiteratos]

Hi everybody:

I would like to know if it's possible to host a site build on ASP in a Linux server with MySQL databases. Does Apache work for this?

Thanx.

Guillermo.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Probably not the way you want. Generally when people say "ASP" they really mean they want to use VB. The Apache ASP project is ASP with perl as the scripting language. If it must be VB you could look at Chili!soft ASP (now Sun ONE Active Server Pages

http://wwws.sun.com/software/chilisoft/index.html

).

If you have the choice I would suggest using JSP, PHP, mod_perl or some other less Microsoft-centric technology. Just my opinion.

Preach it usige. There are converters out there that will convert your asp pages to php which I think is much better and will help you live longer. Not to mention, php and MySQL were practically made for each other.
