I am not familiar with "Sun ONE Active Server Pages",
so I am unable to offer an opinion (is this ChiliSoft
ASP?... I thought I read some time ago they were
bought, but I am not sure by whom)

As for Apache::ASP, this is a Perl implementation, and
as such, will only execute ASP code if it is written
in Perl, as opposed to the more common VBScript. If
you go with this solutions, and your users are aware
of this limitation and write their ASP pages in Perl,
then you shouldn't have any problems, I believe.

HTH,

Alan Murrell

Re: ASP pages on Apache and Linux

I have used Sun ONE Active Server Pages (formally ChiliSoft) and it works
great. It has a lot of features that normal ASP on IIS does not have, like
a Upload function and I like its email function better then normal ASP.

The ASP code you write on your IIS server work great, in most cases no
changes. I developed my ASP page on a Windows 2000 server and upload them
to a Solaris web server without any real changes if you know the difference
up front.

Mark.

iASP, from http://www.stryon.com/

It's written in Java, used to be considerably slower than ChiliSoft's
although they claim that the current version is much faster.

Do you know about any OpenSource project like that?

No - if you want ASP using VBScript, you will need to use a commercial
product. I can't imagine that this will change any time soon.

Re: ASP pages on Apache and Linux

Don't think anyone mentioned this one...haven't tried it so don't know just how "alpha code" it is:

http://modgb.sourceforge.net/

mod_gb is a Apache module which aims to provide an ASP/VBScript compatibility layer for your web-pages. In other words it allows you to run with none or little modifications your ASP pages on your Linux server running Apache.


Thanks
Emad

Hi Emad,

I stand corrected! I'd never seen this before.

A few comments - the website (at least) has not been updated in several
months, and the supported ASP version is trailing that implemented in the
commercial alternatives. Of course an open source project of this nature
will always be forced to trail behind alternatives that can afford to
purchases source licenses from Microsoft.

Thanks for the heads-up
