You will probably want to look into Chili!ASP, which is now owned by Sun. As far as I know, it's the only ASP interpreter that does not require IIS.

By the way, RH9 and your version of Apache are both quite dated. RH9 has been end-of-lifed for three years and no updates have been released for it since Fedora Legacy shut down last year. A host of patches are availabe in Apache 2.0.59 that fix numerous flaws in 2.0.40, including cross-site attacks and DoS attack vulnerabilities. See the whole list here.

Hi,
I have installed ChilliAsp , the installation went fine but when i try to start Apache it gives me the following error, please can you tell me what to do.

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1051 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'CaspLib', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not includ
ed in the server configuration
[FAILED]
Kind Regards,

Sounds like maybe the actual Apache module is not loading, so references to its code are failing.
What output do you get from

Code:

grep LoadModule /etc/httpd/conf/htppd.conf

and

Code:

grep CaspLib /etc/httpd/conf/htppd.conf

Maybe it is overload just to serve asp pages, but I think mono (http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page) should do what you want.

Hi,

i didnt completly get wat you mean by mod_asp, the lines added to the httpd.conf file

LoadModule casp2_module /opt/casp/module/linux2_i686_optimized/apache_2.0.x/20020628/standard/mod_casp2.so

AddHandler chiliasp .asp
AddHandler chiliasp .asa
CaspLib /opt/casp/asp-server-3000

Tell me what exactly do you want to know.

Sorry, typo. It should have been httpd.conf, not htppd.conf. Try again?
