asp: servers that can handle? translating?

[kcf@work]

Okay, here is my first non-introductory post:

I have created web templates for our partner webmasters to use & my pages are all asp. I was going to convert them to plain html when I realized that the code contains some VITAL asp include statements to separate files that will frequently be updated & are part of our branding (which our partners must adopt). Now I want to know what servers my partners will need to use if they want to be able to read asp.

Any ideas?

Alternatives: convert my ASP calls to some other language & re-write the other asp files. I know VBA, but not strictly VB too well. I've written in Perl previously... but that would be a bear. We're going live in 2 weeks--HALP!

TIA!

Now I want to know what servers my partners will need to use if they want to be able to read asp.

To run an ASP/ASP.NET script, your partner (webmasters) should have access to a Windows Server. In case your partner's web host is running LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP), make sure that the server has "Apache::ASP" installed.

If your partner has a dedicated server, read this article on How to make Apache run ASP.NET / ASP.NET 2.0 .

Hmm... I'll recommend PHP in case you're able to translate your ASP code in different language. PHP is the most popular scripting language on the web. Just use Google to find help. You'll need it if you've never written PHP scripts.
