Thanks a bunch! I'll get right on these configuration changes, and let you know how they worked out.
I had a feeling (being so inexperienced with Apache configuration) that it wasn't even set up. Somehow, being a long-time Windows user, I sort of expected the installer to take care of basic configuration. I will definitely look into what global.asa does and where to put it, as well as how to secure it. Thanks! <Directory "D:\Xxxxxxx\xxxxxx"> refers to the home directory of my website (the names were changed to protect the innocent) and they do work. I will also look into what State.Dir is. Since this is a Windows box...yes, it's probably using the system user by default. Thanks again.

That means Apache::ASP isn't even being called for the page, which is an Apache configuration problem, not a problem with Apache::ASP. (Problems with Apache::ASP or the ASP pages themselves show up as complaints in error_log.) In all of what you posted about your httpd.conf contents, I don't see that you've actually configured Apache to use Apache::ASP. This is from the top of the configuration section of the manual: PerlModule Apache::ASP <Files ~ (\.asp)> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::ASP PerlSetVar Global . PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp </Files> I posted something much like it in my initial reply to you. It applies just as well on Windows as on Linux. Apache is Apache. > I don't seem to have a global.asa file anywhere on the server. I don't know that Apache::ASP fails to work without it, but you do want it. Here's the default one: http://apache-asp.org/eg/global.asa Search for global.asa on apache-asp.org for more on what it does. Also see the documentation for the Global configuration option to see how to change where global.asa lives: http://apache-asp.org/config.html#Global In the snippet above, it appears it's telling Apache::ASP to look in the same directory as your .asp files, which may not be a good thing if you want the contents of your global.asa to be secret. You can use the Global directive to put global.asa outside the document tree, so Apache won't serve it. Alternately, you can configure Apache to never serve *.asa. > <Directory "D:\Xxxxxxx\xxxxxx"> Are you sure this section actually works?

Never heard of it. It's in the manual: http://apache-asp.org/config.html#StateDir > By "the httpd user" to whom do you refer? The user that Apache runs under. It might not be your user account. If you run it as a Windows service, by default, it runs as the SYSTEM user. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
