Hi all. I'm a php guy, but want to learn ASP. I have my own dedicated Linux hosting, so i would like to propose an offer to anyone with a windows server, to exchange some space and bandwidth, so i can learn asp and gain experience with a windows server, and the other person will get some linux space to learn php with mysql/postgresql and any other linux things.....


Let me know if anyone is interested.

jordie, i do not have any space available, but i would be glad to help you learn asp (its what i use and am learning php now) do you have a windows pc because then you could use that to learn on

I do have a windows PC, but its currently set up with apache for php testing

you can run iis, just use another port

[jordie]

but will i have to access it like 127.0.0.1:81 (that is if 81 is the other port?) cause that'd get annoying

yes you would, that or you could switch one off and the other on...

[jordie]

hm... I've got winxp pro. Recommend any tuts or guides to setting up IIS?

non necessary, just goto add remove programs and add windows components, then click iis, i would go through the options and just chech what you want

Can't get PHP to run on IIS....

i have always used a php package with a install for iis, i think you can download one. but what needs to be done is add an isapi filter for php so it knows to run that file using php.exe
