looking for...

[torch]

i am making my own server and i want to know where i can get CGI, SSI, Perl, ASP, PHP, MySQL, virtual hosting (for hosting others), email services (ex. yourname@domain.com) installed for my computer. I am willing to host others for free and paid and will be offering CGI, SSI, Perl, ASP, PHP, and MySQL so i need to know where to get them off. I'm looking for these for free, i will pay if necessary.

ASP is not free.

CGI: you mean Perl/PHP? http://www.perl.com http://www.php.net
mySQL: http://www.mysql.com
Webserver: http://www.apache.org

Email: i seriously suggest you change your operating system to *nix if you haven't already.

i can tell you more, but first, you should obviously change your operating system to *nix first. if you want to use ASP, you're going to have some problems with uptime because it requires micro---- windoze, unless you have a Sun Cobalt RaQi server that has Chillsoft ASP.

k, thanks for the information. I am already getting UNIX from my brothers work. I guess i don't really need ASP then, not exactly sure if its useful or not, i just saw it in freewebspace search engine. Also, you have anything for SSI? also for perl, do i download activeperl?

activeperl is for windows, you need to compile perl yourself for unix.

you can get an ASP module to run under MOD_perl on Apache

it's FREE

find it via www.apache.org

But it's VERRY hard to install. I know, I tried, I failed.

As far as I can tell PHP and ASP can do similar things, so if you have one do you really need the other?

[lucifer]

you can use just one but having both gives flexibility and you'll find that servers usually only have one. they are quite different as well as being very similar. eg ASP you can choose the language you program in.
