Does the web server support ASP (Active Server Pages)?
Absolutely! Just make sure to name your files that contain ASP code, with the ".asp" extension. However, please be aware of the following important caveats:
- For security and reliability, our web servers run a UNIX operating system with the Apache web server. ASP is a scripting language developed for Microsoft servers running the IIS web server. Support for ASP is provided on our UNIX servers by means of a additional plug-in. Therefore, some functions and features (i.e. VB Script which expects a native Microsoft environment) may not work the same as they would "natively" on IIS.
- Files containing ASP code must be placed in a directory called "asp" at the top level of your web site to be interpreted by the web server.
