You can download SunOne ASP Server for Linux or Windows and use it.
They are selling for merely RM2,000 for a server. You can get the
evalution key to test out.
There are two ways to install SunOne ASP:
1. Install the bundled Apache. This is the easiest. But not very good
because the version they used may be old and thus have backdoor. Also
it may not support hook to PHP. It is good for deploying single web
site and single applications.
2. Install the ASP and use with your existing Web Server. You need to
recompile their ASP modules that works for your version of Apache.
Quite easy to do,
apxs -c modules_name.c
Also see "apxs --help". I think "apxs -i" will automatically install it
for you by editing httpd.conf file and copy over the necessary modules.
The rest... check the docs in /opt/casp.
Few things to notes about SunOne ASP:
1. It is not 100% IIS replacement. Most M$ specific ActiveX component
won't work. SunOne has a wonderful list of comparison online (I forgot
where is it...)
2. It won't support M$ Access (mdb) file. You can convert to Dbase
format and use it. Well, hopefully you don't use relational things in
M$ Access, because DBase is flat.
3. SunOne ASP let you run Java code!
4. SunOne ASP has additional ActiveX modules that M$ don't have. Mostly
related to Java.
5. Got many backend ODBC connection (most Database connection, except
M$ Access).
Thanks.
