how do i use asp on a linux based server

    I have a virtual dedicated server (with godaddy), and was told by them that even though the server is linux based, that it is asp compatible. However, I am having trouble getting my asp script working. Can anyone help? Is there any software i need to install on the server? Is there a configuration problem? I use plesk 7 reloaded to configure.

    If they have chilisoft asp on the server, you should be good to go. If not, there is little you can do. Because it's server based, if it is not installed, then you will have to find a different server.

    It's possible, but to be honest I'd avoid it. You're opening up a big can of worms here.

    Either use IIS to host the site, or preferably re-write the code in a different language (JSP, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python, take your pick).

    Would have to agree with the previous posters. First, contact GoDaddy's support about the issues you are having. If that doesn't pan out, and you know that the problem isn't in your code, then there really isn't much you can do but either switch to another hosting provider, or switch to a better & more universal programming language that'll work on any *nix server out there. Recommend PHP or Ruby, myself; haven't thankfully had to write any ASP code in years.

    Erm, not sure where you got this idea but this is most certainly wrong I'm afraid.

    ; Allow ASP-style <% %> tags.
    asp_tags = Off

    from the php.ini

    Perhaps they wont parse them but you can use the tags.... sorry I guess i had that in my head for some reason

    Not every regular asp command works with chilisoft, you'll have to read the docs to find out for sure which ones.
