dummy.asp not working on my host's servers
Hello. I'm a beginning to this group; I'm pleased to see this
resource for Apache::ASP. I worked with Microsoft ASP for around 6
months, but am a novice to Apache::ASP, so forgive my questions. I'm
trying to see if my hosting service DOES support Apache::ASP, as they
claim they do. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
David
Here's a series of messages I posted to them:
"Please, do you have any documentation (or asp test files you run) on
writing Apache ASP pages on your servers. I know, Apache ASP is perl-
script-based, not VBScript. The links from your Webmasters reference
site on the CPanel aren't helping.
Here's a little more information. I was following several articles
written by Joshua Chamas. In his "Apache::Asp Site Building" article
(http://www.perlmonth.com/perlmonth/issue6/apacheasp.html), which I
got to searching the webmaster links referenced on the Cpanel, he
recommends making a dummy.asp page to check that APACHE::ASP is
working and that the $Session is enabled. My dummy.asp is found at
www.braindivot.com/dummy.asp.
This is the totality of the dummy.asp file:
INTRO <%=$Session%>
When viewed, the dummy.asp should show
INTRO Apache::ASP::Session=HASH(0x??????).
Now it just shows
INTRO <%=$Session%>
Here's hostmatix.com's response:
"Dear valued customer,
We are supporting Apache ASP and not Mircosoft or .NET ASP. Please
let us know if you are looking for .NET ASP.
Regards,
Support Team
HostMatix.com"

A good start for a *test* config might be:
<Files ~ (\.asp)>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlModule Apache::ASP
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
PerlSetVar Global .
PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp_yourusername
</Files>
You would put this in a .htaccess file in the same directory
as your script you want to execute. If that does not work,
you will have to talk to you hosting provider about getting
.htaccess files activated.
Please see http://www.apache-asp.org/config.html and
http://www.apache-asp.org/install.html#Quick%20Start
on getting going with a configuration.
If running Apache::ASP under mod_perl does not work as normal,
you might try to see if your hosting provider has the asp-perl
script installed for CGI mode ASP. You can read more on this at:
http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html#Standalone%20Cbddd74cc

Josh

Josh,
Is this configuration issue likely to be handled by the host, or
is it something I should do, like the blurb I saw about my .htaccess?
Thanks,
David

This just means that the ASP script was not executed at all.
This is probably an Apache configuration issue to get Apache::ASP
to execute your .asp script. What you are seeing it just
the script itself, not the executed script's output.
