I've been asking this around for awhile now and I am getting a little burned out. I am sitting on a 1U Brand new server and I am trying to install RedHat 7.x on it

*BUT*

I am switching from a Cobalt RAQ 4 Server -> That runs / has ChiliSoft ASP Spice Pack, that supports ASP code to a RH 7.2 that does not have Chilisoft.

I had Apache, with ChiliSoft Server connected to ---> mySQL database. On my Home machine, my Windows platform I would use myODBC to connect to remote ChiliSoft server remotely, import tables and specs into ms access or just tables, do
the code, upload the (*.asp) ASP code than tada.. working fine..

Right now I have a brand new server that does not come with ChilliSoft. I need to have database access to mySQL and code on Window base and upload work and be okay. I do not look into learning php right now and do such and such.

I want something similar I have above... Is there a way using Apache TomCat or JDK or JDBC to connect to mysql database and work in windows enviroment than upload code?

What are the tools? where can I go read on it.. where can I go get started?

JRUN doesn't work I ready, by Macromedia. I am using UltraDev to program. If I was to install COLD FUSION Server it will act like ChiliSoft, where CF will supprot CFM Code but I still need CF Server to connect to mySQL. I am not even sure CF Server supports mySQL.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks..

Now, let's see if I got this together:

Basically, you have a RaQ4i w/ChiliSoft ASP. You want to move the ASP files you made for use on your RaQ to a server that doesn't have ASP.

I would suggest since you don't want to leave ASP for PHP (it would be nice to know PHP since it's available on multiple platforms) that you simply purchase a Chilisoft ASP licence for Linux. This way you will still be using ASP along with mySQL as your database backend. Chilisoft ASP can be purchased from http://www.chilisoft.com for $495. It's the best solution you have.

DO NOT GO WITH COLD FUSION!!!

Not only is it down right expensive, it's very very CPU intensive (and yes, you can use mySQL with Cold Fusion).

Perhaps you might consider some control panels which includes Chilisoft ASP...?

I do not have ASP pages programmed, I wanted something alternative. I thought I can use Tomcat apache, with JDK with jdbc or something with UltraDev that supports *.JSP pages for java. I don't care about ASP. I can program in JSP, ASP or CFM. Right now seemes that UltraDEV has a phakt extension to program in PHP and also UltraDEV or Macromedia MX supports php I think.

So I might not need any Java stuff.. afterall.

I didn't know they make control panels that come with an ASP server like ChiliSoft.

I also came across iASP which is even better than ChiliSoft but more expensive as well.

I tought there was a version of Cpanel that included Chili$oft ASP...

perhaps I'm wrong and is it only "supported"

What might be is that it supports Chili!Soft server where you can change and tweak the server without loggin into Chili's control panel itself. Sort of Plesk or Cpanel control mySQL database.

For that I'd use phpMyAdmin but it's nice when you can control "all" that from a control panel.

If you want to stay with ASP, you could check the Apache::ASP project. Website url is http://www.apache-asp.org/

This an excerpt from the infos:
Apache::ASP provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only, and enables developing of dynamic web applications with session management and embedded perl code. There are also many powerful extensions, including XML taglibs, XSLT rendering, and new events not originally part of the ASP API!


If you want to migrate to PHP, check http://www.asp2php.com/
asp2php converts WWW Active Server Pages (ASP) files that run on the Microsoft IIS Web Server into PHP pages to run on Apache.

Good to know.... I don't have to worry about converting the code yet because I haven't started. No need to worry about that part but very soon I will.

Thanks...
