how to install asp scripts

[b]

i know how to install cgi scripts, php backed with mysql database
now i like to know how to install asp, what datbase does asp use
ms sql is very expensive. does anyone actually use it?

any free providers offer asp so i can learn how to install before i get a win2000 server?
any site that explain asp for beginers?

ASP is supported by many web servers including IIS, PWS etc.

You can also use Access 2000 or MSDE 2000 (SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine) as a backend with ASP.

You can find ASP-based free hosts here

You can pickup on ASP at www.4guysfromrolla.com among many other sites.

Hope it helps!

[b]

which asp providers are working fine
i tried freecfm but ftp is down. i tried others and they are down or no longer offer free services.

here is my problem:
i worked with ms200 at my company where the computer in front of me works on ms200 operating system

and i worked on linux server where it's hosted by another company (rackspace.com ) so i have ftp and telnet access
and home path is located at /home/httpd/

but i never worked on ms2000 server where it's hosted on another companies computers?

do i get ftp account, telnet? where is the home path?
is it c:\

thanks for your help, i'm confused

how hard to move a site written in asp from one server to another
any modifications needed?

 

[Pedroz]

it depends from components used (some can be not installed onthe another server), file location, databases used - that's generally.

 

[b]

let's say all compononts (modules) installed on the first server are installed on the second one.
is it easy?

Mysql is easy to use and be powerful too.

 

[Pedroz]

I don't have much experience in moving sites, but I think, if you use relative paths, it will be not complicated to move a site.

Web appliactions using a scripting environment like ASP, PHP, ASP.Net etc are portable and scalable.
