Apache::ASP problems

[Leighton Donal Jones <jo...@student.cs.ucc.ie>]

Hello,
         Would anybody be able to help with this problem? I am using
Apache, mod_perl and Apache::ASP.When I call an asp file from the browser
it seems to read the file content as html, eg on a form, in the input area
it shows the name of the variable, it dosen't recognise the perlScript and
just prints it as text. You don't know what might be causing this problem
? Is this a configuration error.

Thanks,
Leighton

Your Apache::ASP config is likely not being picked up, so 
the ASP script is being rendered as straight HTML.

Make sure you can get the ./site/eg examples that come
with the Apache::ASP distribution working.  Once done
with that, you can likely leverage your configuration 
know-how into real development and production configs.

The examples in particular need to have their .htaccess
activated, see http://www.apache-asp.org/install.html#Quick%20Start

Make sure you also understand what the various config options
do for you once you get ASP working. If you don't need it, 
don't use it!  See:
