.ASP pages are normally for Frontpage extensions. If you need Frontpage extensions, try googling for the perl modules that will emulate a IIS server.
Otherwise, you need to find the line that says:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html index.html.var

and add index.asp (I think Frontpage likes to use default.asp)
Hope that helps a little.

Hi
OK. let me check it, I gotta check something else also (mod_perl), and we'll see,

Thanks
ps.do you know what about flash animation. Does apache support it.

Take a look here if you want to add asp support in apache.
As for flash animations just add the following line in httpd.conf

Code:

AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf

.asp pages are Microsoft Active Server Page scripts, which require their ASP engine (shipped with IIS + therefore requires Windows) to run - There are linux versions of ASP such as ChiliSoft ASP (I think Sun do it now) - but they aren't free (or weren't last time I looked).

Consider doing the website in php as that will work fine with apache on linux.

Hi
Thanks for advices, but it still doesn't work how it should be, maybe I did something wrong or mod_perl doesn't support VBScript.

well, I'll keep looking, there must be some way out.

I appreciate any advices.

Thanks.

hi
here is few first lines from my website

Quote:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>

<%
Dim Recordset1__MMColParam
Recordset1__MMColParam = "S"
If (Request("MM_EmptyValue") <> "") Then
Recordset1__MMColParam = Request("MM_EmptyValue")
End If
%>
<%

Dim Recordset1
Dim Recordset1_numRows

Set Recordset1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_connection_STRING
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT TOP 2 SKU, ID, LIST_PRICE, PIC_FILENAME, SKUGROUP_DESC FROM dbo.Items WHERE ITEM_TYPE = '" + Replace(Recordset1__MMColParam, "'", "''") + "'"
Recordset1.CursorType = 0
Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2
Recordset1.LockType = 1
Recordset1.Open()

Recordset1_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Recordset2__MMColParam
Recordset2__MMColParam = "F"
If (Request("MM_EmptyValue") <> "") Then
Recordset2__MMColParam = Request("MM_EmptyValue")
End If
%>
<%
Dim Recordset2
Dim Recordset2_numRows

Set Recordset2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Recordset2.ActiveConnection = MM_connection_STRING
Recordset2.Source = "SELECT TOP 2 SKU, ID, LIST_PRICE, PIC_FILENAME, SKUGROUP_DESC FROM dbo.Items WHERE ITEM_TYPE = '" + Replace(Recordset2__MMColParam, "'", "''") + "'"
Recordset2.CursorType = 0
Recordset2.CursorLocation = 2
Recordset2.LockType = 1
Recordset2.Open()

Recordset2_numRows = 0
%>
<html>
<head>

<%
Dim Categories
Dim Categories_numRows

Set Categories = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Categories.ActiveConnection = MM_connection_STRING2
Categories.Source = "SELECT DISTINCT SECTION FROM dbo.Items ORDER BY SECTION"
Categories.CursorType = 0
Categories.CursorLocation = 2
Categories.LockType = 1
Categories.Open()

Categories_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Categories__numRows
Dim Categories__index

Categories__numRows = -1
Categories__index = 0
Categories_numRows = Categories_numRows + Categories__numRows
%>

Ok if I replace this above on that
