Apache - ASP

I'm sorry if this is a useless post.

i'm new to asp, i don't want to us the IIS server. i want to use
apache.

but i've done a few searches and i have only been able to come up with
asp - perl.

i.e. i can only do asp with perl scripting in apache.

what i want to know is. i currently run on a windows system is it
possible to create asp pages with vb/c# under apache. or am i limited
to perl. and would have to install and use IIS to use vb/c#.

thank you for any replies.

you could run IIS on another port (or even on the same one) and proxy
but that amounts to the same insecure worry and then youre back into
the world of M$, if you are desperate to write c# then why not wrap it
up and call it from PHP using COM.

Re: Apache - ASP

tbh, C# and vb i am not a fan of.

personally i love C++. but i'd rather stick to php, and i have been
informed on another usenet group that i can use Php to do all i need.

i was unfortunate to come across a vast amount of webpages that used
asp as their shopping basket language.
but i have been informed that i can use php and it will be secure.
which i am happy with because it means i can continue to use php. and
not worry about platform.

thanx for the replies

I'm not quite sure wheter I'm getting this right or not, but If you want
to serve parsed ASP/ASPX pages through your Apache, maybe mod_aspdotnet
is of some interest to you. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-aspdotnet
