After twenty years in hardware and real-time programming, I'm back at university getting into business computing, so I'm very new to this server stuff and I'm trying to learn.
I wanted to run a local server but Microsoft PWS doesn't run on Win ME. Searching around I came across this http://www.ricocheting.com/sever/index.html I found it very helpful, albeit a bit out of date. So, I've installed apache_1.3.22-win32-x86.msi onto this Win ME machine as a localhost and it works fine. I've installed ActivePerl, and it works fine too. I want to run ASP, so I download Apache-ASP-2.29 Then as per the instructions I did ___________________________________ shell prompt> perl -MCPAN -e shell ... cpan> install Bundle::Apache::ASP ___________________________________ A huge amount of text flowed down the screen which ended with _______________________________________________________ Removing previously used \.cpan\build\Apache-ASP-2.29\. Couldn't find \.cpan\build\Apache-ASP-2.29\. at C:/Perl/lib/CPAN.pm line 1972 _______________________________________________________ I tried to run some of Perl's sample asp pages but nothing worked. Clealy the phrase:- 'The easiest way to install Apache::ASP for the first time from perl is to fire up the CPAN shell like:' isn't quite as easy as it claims. The rest of the information at http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/install.html is unitelligable to anyone who hasn't worked with servers, and all the FAQ's seem to assume your an expert, so I'm no better off. The main confusion I'm getting is figuring which is Perl stuff from Apache. Also links like:- _______________________________________________________ There are several other Perl modules that you might wish to have installed, to take full advantage of mod_perl functionality. Provided you have Andreas König's CPAN.pm module, simply run: _______________________________________________________ is just a long list of meaningles files. So, is there any chance of an Idiot's guide to getting this ASP to work? Python __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
