[gentoo-user] OT - Apache, mod_perl, and Apache-ASP

[Michael Sullivan]

I am attempting to install Apache-ASP for my users on my server box.
Personally, I don't use ASP (I prefer PHP), but most of my users still
prefer Microsoft and they might want to use it.  It wasn't available in
portage, so I had to get the source code off the Internet.  I've
followed all the instructions (I think), but I still see the example ASP
code when I go to the example ASP scripts that came bundled with
Apache-ASP.  Does anyone else have experience with Apache-ASP that could
tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Apache-ASP depends on mod_perl (I emerged
it last night), and I've added "-D PERL" to the APACHE2_OPTS variable
in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and restarted apache, but I'm not sure if it's
working.  Is there a way for me to test if mod_perl is working?

heya,

from my experience you would need something like sun's chilisoft asp 
engine in order to run true asp code on a linux-based machine.  apache-asp 
is all perl-based, meaning you can't just take code off a windows machine 
and expect it to work on linux.  to be honest, i have no idea what the 
point of apache-asp is.
