I'm looking for a server than can host sites built either php or asp. (I have copies of sites built with both that I would like on the same url) Can it be done?
PHP runs on Apache, ASP is Windows only. You could run your server on Windows using a version of Apache and PHP compiled for Windows, and run the ASP stuff on a different port. Redirect all the ASP stuff to that port.
When you say server, are you talking about hardware or a web server (software)? Now I'm not so sure what you were asking in the first place.
What do you intend to do with your server? Is this a personal project or a business project? Depending on what kind of traffic you expect, you can choose many different types of servers (hardware that is).
Are you looking for a hosting service that will run your site with PHP and ASP or will you be hosting it yourself?
Yeah the hardware you will need really depends on the type of application you'll be serving, the traffic you expect, and any uptime expectations or requirements. I'm guessing this is for a corporate web site and not personal? If it's personal just get it hosted by a 3rd party.
PHP can run on WINDOWS without APACHE. You can run PHP on IIS as long as the paths in the PHP ISAPI is located correctly. I've had to modify paths with the old DOS tilde ( Executable Location = "C:\Progra~1" ) and they didn't work unless you wrote the entire path on the IIS dialog box. You don't need separate servers or separate ports. I can show you that my personal web page on planetnet.net servers runs PERL, PHP, and ASP. Try this here one, it's EL CHEAPO: http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Ho...7B32EF6EF528C6.TC60a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static
Personal. I have some old sitexs that the company i worked for made but never used. I have copies of them and I want to have them online to show some people. But some used php and some asp.
Looks like SlowLy-D is already doing this, I would take his advise. I think he gave you a site where you can publish your sites for 2 bucks for three month. So that is like 4 bucks for two sites for three month. Cann't beat that. Sorry it looks like 2 or 2.50 a month for first three months then 3.99 to 4.99 for a month, still not bad, so we are talking about 8 bucks for a month here. Or you could just host it on your pc, but it will be off when you turn off your computer.
Thanks. I just need them hosted to show as examples of some previous work. (actually I want to sell the sites because I have the copies and my company that pretty much went under still owes me money)
I don't see why not. Any hosting company should be able to configure a setup like that. There's nothing to it.
IT'S SwoLy-D !!!!! jk. Here is another one where I did my personal and some other sites: http://planetnet.com/web_site_hosting_plans.htm . CHEAP. If you want to run both, just call them and see what they tell you about running both. I would advise AGAINST running both engines on the same site, though, as you would see error logs go crazy on programming syntax snafus. That's just my opinion. Like I said, I've made IIS sites run PHP without having a file ASP one.
