Can I run ASP on a linux web server?

As pointed out by a few others. ASP is developed by Microsoft, therefore Microsoft being Microsoft only allow this code to work on Windows servers.

If you are looking to develop a database driven website on a linux server i suggest going for PHP. I use both ASP and PHP and find PHP a nice code to work with. However if you want a easy option if you select ASP, dreamweaver will do a lot of the hard coding for you. For example, this kind of script:

Other Replys:You cannot.

Other Replys:Yes ASP is a language meant for people who only know about microsoft%26#039;s version of computers not about real computers. Maybe you should use a language that works on all major operating systems: Windows, Mac, *and* of course Linux. Of course, you could always use the other languages like perl and stuff which are way more powerful than PHP.
