I've been given an ASP website. How do I host it on Linux ?

[Mark Hobley]

A friend of mine is helping to develop a website for me.

He is a windows user, and has created the website using ASP

How do I go about getting it running on my Linux machine ?

I only want to use open source tools. I don't want to splash out any
cash at this stage, in case it doesn't work at the end.

I guess that I need Apache web server.

I need to know what other stuff I'm going to need.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Why is that? ASP sucks bigtime! And I know it, because I had to build an
ASP website too.

Kick your friend in the head and get him to learn PHP.

safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Error BR-549: MS DRM 1.0 rejects the following post from Mark Hobley:

Try searching on "asp to php converter". Here's one:

I imagine these are fairly easy to write to do most of the work, using
Perl. Just imagining, though.

In addition to the Apache web server, get a JSP translator and a servlet
engine. If you want to keep it in the Apache family, try Tomcat.
Translate the ASP to JSP.

Btw, I've removed comp.os.linux.system from this thread, since this
really isn't a system issue.
