Hi,

New here and have searched for this issue and tried a few attempts to get my forms working, but I'm just not getting anywhere.

I am now at the point of looking for someone to do it for me and I will just pay the person. I had bad experiences with free lancing websites, which is why I'd rather have an expert help me on this one.

Basically, I have a website that used to run on Windows which contained 2 .aspx pages. I recently moved to Linux web hosting servers at hostgator and now those 2 pages are obviously not working as .asp is compatible with Windows. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out on getting the forms compatible to Linux, the data from the forms should be sent to a different web service and I woud also like to have some sort of statistics of how many leads were sent from the 2 forms.

I do not mind paying for services rendered as I have spent time and time on this, but are just unsuccessful.

Thanks,
Henry

Do you know what these two .aspx pages do? Are they just collecting information in a form and sending it to another page as a POST or is it something more fancy than that?

I'm hearing you about the freelancer type sites. In my view, giant con and fleecing tanks mostly - with a few gems to be found. I'm sure you'll get plenty of help to ace this, so chin up and let's start at the beginning:

Elfenlied pretty nails it - forget about the asp/aspx aspect of it, other than it won't run on Linux it doesn't matter. You know this is going to require a rewrite - and I'm guessing into either PHP or Perl.

Six million dollar question(s): What do the pages/scripts actually do? Do they interact with a database (Jet/Access/SqlServer)? What level of coding are you at yourself and comfortable with?

Thanks for the response guys.

Both pages are collecting data from users and are sent/posted to a web service. Unfortunately I am still on baby stages with regards to php/perl. I do have the specification, but have done a sample of what is required below.

Hi Guys,

Is there anyone that can do the job I posted below, I can pay for the service. Please get in touch if you interested.

Thanks!

I'd try Elance.com myself, it's pretty safe there for all concerned.

Thanks, but I have gave up on freelance sites. I just want someone with Linux experience that can create forms and have the data sent to a web service, that's it.

Then the best place to find one, if you are offering to pay, is via a REPUTABLE site like Elance which holds payment with Escrow so (a) you don't get scammed (b) the provider is not ripped off by a non paying customer.

I don't think anyone will write custom code for you here on a promise of payment, so you either need to find someone or learn to write it yourself. Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but that's the way the world is. People will HELP you for free, but you'd need to start doing some of the work yourself.

That's alright, like I said in my first email. I have knowledge and know how to program it using Windows, this is currently working. I want to move the site to Linux and the 2 pages are in .aspx. I do not have much knowledge it coding the forms to work in a linux environment.

Thanks for all your replies anyway.

I didn't see your first email, but I did read your first post.

The issue is not really a Linux 'thing', it's a web coding thing. You'll need to recode it into something like PHP. That's not Linux specific and your best starting point will be one of the coding forums. Perhaps this one: http://www.codingforums.com/ ?

If you discover you have Linux specific issues with the PHP then there is plenty of help here, but web coding issues are a little out of scope for this forum, which is why I suspect you've not been overwhelmed with replies.

Have fun with it, looks really straightforward to me.

Thanks Leslie, appreciate it.
