xampp with asp (not aspx)

Question

Hello, is it possible to use xampp (apache 2) with asp (it works with aspx, but i want to use "normal" asp). With kind regard, JSMB

Answer 1

You mean "Classic ASP"? As far as I know, ASP for windows is only possible with IIS. For linux (apache) it was possible with chillisoft and the like, but it's probably not free, nor available anymore...

Answer 2

From a slightly dated page:

Do Microsoft Activer Server Pages (ASP) work with XAMPP?

No! And Perl:ASP in the Perl Add-on is not the same! Unfortunately no free implementation for the Apache is available.

Edit: However it may be possible to run mod_proxy on Apache. mod_proxy is a reverse proxy which should allow you to transparently relay requests to IIS. I haven't done this with either Apache or IIS, so I can't advise you here.

Answer 3

Thanks, I "solved" this with using quickwebserver. http://www.pablosoftwaresolutions.com/ Now I can use classic ASP with XP home edition (and of course it's not free :-( ;-))
