...can OSX / apache serve ASP? A quick Google search gave confusing answers.
I know, I know - shoot me down for using ASP in the first place, but this is legacy stuff I need to update...
KTHX

you should not use ASP

Why would anyone use ASP in the first place?

maybe ask on apple support forums. in order to receive less useless responses.

There's something called mono but I don't know if it's classic asp or .net or if that even matters....

Or maybe dotnet nuke? It's open-source maybe there's a port for OSX? They're fundamentally different platforms though, so it's likely you won't be able to without some real tweaking.

i was under the impression that ASP only works under Windows IIS servers, which is why it sucks.

Hey, thanks rson, but statement just put me off - from the apache-asp site:
"The installation process for Apache::ASP is geared towards those with experience with Perl, Apache, and unix systems. For those without this experience, please understand that the learning curve can be significant. "

Ok - things don't look good.
Any advice converting ASP to PHP??
All I need is actually pretty basic: Include files and if/else statements. S'bout it.

How big is the site? Conversion won't take long but QC afterwards will take a while. If it's just includes and such you'll have no problems, you could do a find/replace in DW/coda for some of the stuff.
- Quality control?thismanslife
- Yah, broken links, missing includes, images, etc, etc.

- That could take a while to convert... but if you're going to do it eventually you may as well do it now.pylon
- Yeah :(thismanslife

if you're gonna use ASP, don't do it on a Mac =) switch to Ruby...
- thismanslife0
...true. I used it many many years ago, and I'm not a developer, so once I'd started I stuck with what I knew. I haven't updated the site in years too... so what language *should* I be using?

Yes you can. You need Mono, as previously mentioned. http://mono-project.com/Main_Pag…
