Is it possible to run ASP under LINUX

[hosting]

To make ASP run under Linux, PHP script files are saved as ASP extensions and are redirected to the PHP interpreter. So it looks like the server serves ASP files, but these are actually PHP scripts.

What you are asking for is not ASP running under Linux, but rather PHP masquerading as ASP?

You should be able to make the extension of files anything you want.

Have a look here:

Warning: I have never done this, and my search results could be completely off base.

ASP and PHP are totally different animals and if you want to run ASP on linux it requires a bit more than that such as this or this.

I looked into this at one point as well and at that time (year and a half ago or so) it was still pretty unstable. No idea how it is now.

Hope that helps

1) To make ASP run under Linux >> as Dan suggested you will need to install mono

2) PHP script files are saved as ASP extensions >> no need just fine with .php extension

3) If you really need tu run ASP application, I suggest you using windows OS instead of linux...
