ASP on LINUX

[Aseem Nasnodkar]

Well I am working on my college website......... which has a server based on linux.

Now i know only ASP and hv created almost all the code.
I work with mysql and jmail for on IIS
I need to work all this on linux
is there ne component available to do this?

To my knowledge, ASP can only work on IIS server or PWS (found in Windows 98 )which is a windows application.

For apache server which comes bundled with linux cannot not serve the ASP pages.

There's one software called Chilisoft ASP to use ASP in Linux.
It's now called Sun Java ASP.

Commonly, ASP applications need a mechanism to send email from the web. Chili!Soft ASP provide COM components, Chili!Mail (SMTP) to do it. Unfortunately, Chili!Soft sells it in separate package, SpicePack, with other important components such as Chili!POP3 dan Chili!Upload. This SpicePack must be purchased separately, it clarifies why after some business considerations, and lots of web-hosting companies decide not to invest in such package.

One of the solutions is to create a mail handler in language that already supporting send email feature like PHP, Perl or Python. Another solution as suggested by an article "Send E-Mail via ASP without CDONTS" (www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=390).
The codes will generate text file in email format and save it in a directory, then setup a scheduled daemon to regularly check that particular folder, if there are any files inside. It will send them to mail handler program. The drawback of this system is email will be sent not instantly.

college has it's own server or web space hosted some where?
