ASP files

[force5]

We are switching from IIS over to Apache. Many of our customers use .asp files and I have heard that .asp is a nightmare for Apache, but my manager is pushing to get them switched over..regardless. Can anyone give me any insight on this issue?

ASP is a Microsoft-defined set of standard objects for use with web applications. Although ASP is typically used with VBScript on IIS machines, it can be implemented in many languages, such as in perl with Apache:ASP.

If you are talking about making VBScript/ASP available through Apache, you probably want Sun Java System Active Server Pages.

Thanks Sleipner214!

from the research that I have done in previous posts on different forums, many people state to stay away from making the change from existing IIS sites with .asp to Apache because it requires major code overhaul. Sun looks like they have a good program, but my manager is not wanting to put any money into it.
I am far from a Perl expert and really have only JUST BEGUN to read up on mod_perl. I have RedHat 9 and am using the Apache 2.0 that comes bundled with it and I don't think RedHat comes with a very flexible mod_perl???

Sorry, but I have no opinion on mod_perl. I've never had occasion to use it.
