XP Home 1

[gnt]

Hello-
I'm running XP Home OS, and I understand that IIS and PWS are not available. Does anybody know of a freeware/shareware web server that I can download that will support ASP?
Thanks!

If you're serious about this, use Apache web server for Win32. It's probably the best you'll get.

You can also try going to

http://www.AnalogX.com

- he's got a minimalist web server thats FREE that may just work... check it out.

BTW - Apache is free too. Open Source is the best :-D

Sorry to keep posting... but you can get a GUI for Apache named Comanche

http://www.comanche.org/

That will make apache easier to manage for somebody that's not familiar with it. All the command line references are included, though. Then you'll just need to install ASP, ASP3, ASP+, etc. on your PC

Good Luck!!!

Cool-
Thanks for all the help!
Forgive the elementary nature of my question, but I'm a novice to ASP and am setting it up in order to learn it. How do I go about installing ASP, ASP3, etc. on my PC? From my limited understanding of it so far, it's not a software I can buy and install, correct? Is it not included when I download the apache web server?
Thanks-

http://www.apache-asp.org/

it's cool. If you don't ask questions, you won't have answers. I was novice until about 1 year ago (-:

ASP is an appliation that enables the

http://www server

to process the script.

it may be included in Apache, but you'll want the most up-to-date software to be able to take advantage of the newest advances in the technology.
