Is it possible to run .asp pages on Apache? If so.. how can you configure it?

    Interesting question. However, I fear that the answer is no.

    ASP is not a Microsoft invention (although I'm sure they'd like you to think that it was). ASP is not in itself a programming language. The language can be one of three languages: VBScript (the most common and therefore why most people think it's a MS invention), JavaScript and PerlScript.

    ASP.NET, on the other hand IS a MS invention. (for anyone whos not sure what .NET means, and I'm not entirely up to scratch on this, that using this frameworks, you can use lots of different programming languages like C# to create lots of different bits of software that will work on the web and as non-web software and all interact together)

    So, in conclusion, althought ASP can be run on Apache, ASP.NET can't.

    Please note that this is all as far as I know and if anyone can see a blinding error here, feel free to point it out.
