Hi, I'm new to Apache, so sorry if my questions are dumb.
First off, I am replacing a win98 pc with one with xp home installed. I know
I need to upgrade to xp pro to get IIS as PWS won't run. However, I don't
really want to go down the upgrade route unless I have to.
I need to run a server on my computer to develop/test my pages prior to
upload. I also need to run .asp scripts and connect to access 2000
databases, and I'm not absolutely sure Apache will do this.
So far, I've got Apache and managed to configure it to run my .htm pages on
http://localhost no problems. When I try to run an .asp page all I see is
the page code. I understand from the Apache faq that this is because the
mod_perl application is not installed.
I've downloaded the file that ends in .tar.tar and winzip won't unzip it. So
where do I go from here? Will Apache run my .asp scripts that PWS had no
problems with?
Help!
Thanks,
