I'm just getting into learning ASP.NET and I was wondering, should I be using tutorials made for 1.1 or 2.0? I've read a bit about what the differences are, but how does the webserver know if an aspx file was made for 1.1 or 2.0? Will a file made on a server with 1.1 work on a server with 2.0?

I'm currently learning on my home machine, but I was hoping to eventually migrate to my webserver. Now, my webserver is Linux and Apache, and I know you can get ASP.NET on Linux, but if I already have sites running with PHP/MySQL/Apache is this going to cause any kinds of conflicts?

your host should have both on the server if they use Helm control panel. you can switch between 1.1 and 2.0

whatever you learn from 1.1 you can still use it in 2.0

you best to use IIS/Windows for hosting .Net apps.

I don't have a host, I am my own host :p I own a dedicated server with Linux and cPanel. I'd rather not shell out additional money for hosting if I don't have to.

Don't bother trying to run ASP.NET on Linux.

As far as which ASP.NET to use, I'd devote my time to ASP.NET 2.0.

Running ASP.NET using MONO on linux would not cause any conflicts with php/mysql/apache etc. If you have CPanel on that server you can install mono from within WHM.

It won't cause conflicts, but Mono's ASP support is not bullet proof--its why we stopped offering mono-based ASP some time ago.

you may need to configure the IIS to use the ASP 2.0. sql server 2005 requires 2.0 to work.
