Apache::ASP
Apache::ASP
provides an Active
Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server and lets you develop
dynamic web applications with session management and embedded Perl code.
| NOTE:
Apache::ASP only supports ASP code already written in Perl. To use
Apache::ASP with NT/Windows/IIS ASP pages written in VBScript, the
ASP code must be rewritten in Perl. |
Installation
Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet
or SSH and simply follow these easy steps to install Apache::ASP:
- Install the mod_perl Dynamic Module.
- Install the Perl LWP library:
- Use vcpan
to install the Apache::ASP dynamic module:
% vcpan Bundle::Apache::ASP
- Add the following lines to your web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf)
to make a place for Apache::ASP to reside:
<Files ~ "\.asp$">
## tell Apache to give .asp files to mod_perl
SetHandler perl-script
## tell mod_perl to give .asp files to Apache::ASP handler
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
## set global home
PerlSetVar Global /tmp
## set state home (each ASP application has its own
## unique state directory)
PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/test_app
## use strict
PerlSetVar UseStrict 1
## debug information
PerlSetVar Debug 1
</Files>
- Restart Your Web Server:
% restart_apache
- Make a simple Apache::ASP page and place it in your ~/www/htdocs
directory:
<html>
<head>
<title>Apache::ASP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
For loop incrementing font size: <p>
<% for(1..5) { %>
<!-- iterated html text -->
<font size="<%=$_%>" > Size = <%=$_%> </font> <br>
<% } %>
</body>
</html>
- Fetch the page with a web browser and watch it work!
