There is no ASP via Apache. ASP was only ever hosted on IIS and given the huge security implications of running custom binaries on IIS in a shared environment, it almost wasn't ever done.
I started doing ASP development before my web host suggested it was cheaper and easier to do PHP. They had both Linux and Windows shared hosting at the time.
- pjmlp 7y agoSure there was one http://www.apache-asp.org/faq.html http://www.apache-asp.org/faq.html I was only wrong regarding the language, it made use of Perl instead.
- wvenable 7y agoOne esoteric library that was not mainstream. It's completely unrelated (and utterly incompatible) to Microsoft's ASP. I'm not even sure why you'd bother to bring it up -- what point does this make?
- pjmlp 7y agoThat PHP only got where it is today because of cheap hosting, down to the level of free beer, nothing more.
- wvenable 7y agoThat doesn't explain how it beat a number of other technologies at the time -- including well established ones, like Perl.
- pjmlp 7y agoSure it does, cheap hosting. Many ISP only offered Perl with mod_perl, or telnet/cgi access, in the more expensive variants. The cheapest of them all was PHP with files being dumped via FTP upload.
