Search before you post and add your voice to an existing entry, please?

please add php support.

PHP is supported. You seem confused.

.ASP is for Microsoft servers only from what I understand.

[robleyd]

There are Active Server Pages extension for Apache - http://www.apache-asp.org/, http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET, http://www.sun.com/software/chilisoft/ just to name a couple.

There have been a number of occasions on this forum where knowledgeable contributors have pointed out that ASP technology is not restricted to Windows platforms. Welcome to the 21st century and the benefits of Free/Open Source software.

[manicgames]

Indeed, well, from past experiences I was assuming, oh well, everyone makes mistakes. Either way, it's not supported on 110mb.

[General_Kerr]

I Was Told that adding .asp to apache works, I typo'd php instead of php.


I Think that .asp needs to be added, it is a web programing filetype that has a whole different field of scripts and possabilities (im sure you could make a page in .asp and .php, but why not support both?)

[manicgames]

Yes, I actually agree, ASP is rather easy to learn, easier than PHP, not to mention many scripts are for it as well as PHP, so maybe some day.

[inp o҉rtb]

I was the one who did the telling, in a different context. Remember that Linux is not Windows; you should not assume that if ASP support can be added to Apache on Windows that the same can be done on Linux.

In this case, it's possible; check robleyd's post.

[General_Kerr]

You Aren't the only one who told me it can.

and the reason i said that in my last post was because someone changed the title top say .ASP Support [Sorry, Asp only works on windows] or something like that, that would instantally kill it if i didn't change it.

And

I Already learned basic .asp, I was upset to find that i could not use it after making a version of my website with intergrated .asp scripts.

Without asp support can 110mb.com really have it all?

I'm Getting ready to add one of those to my apache so i can test my .asp scripts, i'm going to keep learning .asp (I Don't have a .php manual, but still i like .asp) and i'll be able to test my scripts now.

I'll keep posting for support of this file type, i'd hate to have to but if it comes down to it i'd be forced to use another webhost (mostly likly with iframes to the script pages and a note that it is from another server)
witch i'd really hate to do because i love 110mb

I'm going to warn you: either post in another thread about the same issue or keep your own thread, but don't cross-post and don't double-post a minute apart. I have removed the offending posts.

If you need ASP right now, use a host that supports ASP. This forum is not for instant gratification; it takes time to get new features into the pipeline, and there're plenty of other unimplemented features out there. Don't assume that your request must have the highest priority.

[Keith]

also not that not many FREE host even offer do have features added for free.
keep that in consideration.

[General_Kerr]

ill stick with my topic. sorry.


I know its not instant gratification, but right now im trying to get the admins to notice that the support for .asp is needed.

if they can not find a premade unix module, or make one themselvs how bout this:

they make a new box specifically for .asp requiring web pages, or those that want to be hosted by IIS, accounts with it can be linked to a regular account. (You Get To Choose witch one redirects to username.110mb.com)

maybe only 500 mb of space(taking away from your limit on the normal server) and normal bandwidth.

then you solve the problom while adding even another feature! (Optional IIS Hosting!)

IDK I'd go with building it into the existing servers instead, cheaper, better, not a partial fix

[inp o҉rtb]

Most hosts choose to have separate servers for Apache/PHP and IIS/.NET as it's optimal. The Microsoft servers cost more to maintain, though they sometimes don't charge extra.

[General_Kerr]

well I'd like to have .asp support, but i'm trying to learn PHP, so far i know the "Echo" statement and nothing more. Oh and comments // or /* */

[inp o҉rtb]

It doesn't sound like you're trying at all
If you know ASP, PHP should be no problem for you; if you couldn't learn PHP, ASP would be useless to you.

Lol... True that Plus ASP is very object oriented... and confusing... (though I have not tried to hard myself)

[inp o҉rtb]

I've used ASP/PWS a little bit back in the Win98 days, and didn't find anything particularly difficult to learn from online tutorials. PHP can be used in an object-oriented manner as well. But the idea is that most computer languages are similar, so if you could understand one, you could understand most of them. Knowing the syntax is important, but it's only the beginning.

[General_Kerr]

Well I havn't acturally read much on PHP yet, im trying to get a book. I Can't do the online tutorials cause I don't have very long on the PC to read them.

Also, Newegg.com uses ASP(x) and they are by no means outdated.

[Primefalcon]

well I know this is about a month old, but yoh well, it still on the front page so I'll post, saying languages are rather easy to learn, they're designed to be and if you can grasp one you can grasp any, even c++ is relatively easy to learn....

Not many free hosts actualy give asp support, and the reason is the software costs money

[manicgames]

Perhaps making it a rather expensive payed upgrade would help cover the costs.
