Apache::ASP (What should I do???)

[ke...@zaz.com.br]

	I am a beginner so I don't know much about the whole stuff.
	I installed mod_perl, php3, apache and Apache::ASP (all the latest versions) on a Linux Slackware 7.0. There were no error messages while compiling the programs.
	Then I tried the examples which come with Apache::ASP. The problem is that instead of executing the files/scripts my browser tries to read the files as they were text files.
	For example, when I try to access the eg/index.html it shows something like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 asp <% # split the page in 2 for nice formatting and english style sorting my(@col1, @col2); my @keys
= sort keys %EG; @keys || die("\%EG is not defined, make sure you copied ./eg/global.asa correctly");

(sure there is more "text")

	What have I done wrong? What should I do to fix it?
	I really need to run ASP on a linux server so we can quit using Windows NT.

	Thanks for you attention

Kenjiro,

This should be just a config issue if you have compiled mod_perl
correctly in with Apache, which you can test simply by putting
PerlModule Apache::ASP in your httpd.conf.

As far as getting the examples to work, check out this 
section from the web site install section at

  http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/install.html#Quick%20Start

	Quick Start

        Once you have successfully built the Apache HTTP Server with mod_perl, copy the
        ./site/eg/ directory from the Apache::ASP installation to your Apache document tree and
        try it out! You must put "AllowOverride All" in your httpd.conf <Directory> config section
        to let the .htaccess file in the ./site/eg installation directory do its work. If you want a
        starter config file for Apache::ASP, just look at the .htaccess file in the ./site/eg/
        directory.
