ASP is a server side scripting engine for dynamic web pages. ASP pages contain server-side scripts and HTML tags. As a Microsoft Technology, it works with Microsoft IIS webserver. You can’t run ASP apps on other web servers like Apache, SUN Web Server, Zeus Web Server without using a special application such as ChiliASP or InstantASP.
Sun’s ChiliASP will help us to deploy Active Server Pages (ASP) under a UNIX/Linux environment. Without CASP ( chilisoft asp ), we would have to use Microsoft IIS for working with ASP pages. Sun’s ChiliASP is equivalent to Microsoft’s ASP in its syantax. It works same as that of MS ASP. The main advantage of ChiliASP is that it can run on multiple Web servers including Sun Java System and Apache, and multiple operating systems including Solaris, Linux and Windows. But Microsoft ASP runs exclusively on Microsoft’s operating system and Web server (IIS).
ChiliASP does not support ASP.NET . ASP.NET is a Windows-only development technology.
InstantASP is another technology for running ASP on non-windows platforms. Since iASP is implemented in Java, it is possible to develop Web-based applications that run anywhere, anytime.

Here are the complete steps for ChiliASP Installation.
Supporting Operating Systems and Platforms.

Download and installing Chilisoft
ChiliASP can be downloaded from Sun Microsystems as Sun Java System Active Server. To download, you have to login to Sun Online Account. If you have no account you can register for free. After logging in you can download the tar file. For downloading Sun Java System Active Server go to http://www.sun.com/software/chilisoft/ .
lynx http://192.18.108.138/ECom/EComTicketServlet/ BEGIN0C579BA1D8FFC2DC9568F0575643CA0B/118856931/1845384183/1/588890/588842/ 1845384183/2ts+/westCoastFSEND/SJASP-4.0.2-G-TP/SJASP-4.0.2-G-TP:4/sjsasp402-linux.tar
Extract the the downloaded tar file. There is an installation startup script install.sh in the installation package. Execute it for starting the installation process.
tar -xvf sjsasp402-linux.tar&File=sjsasp402-linux.tar ./install.sh
It will ask you for the installation path . Enter your installation path. I have given as /usr/local/casp/
Enter the directory in which to install Sun ONE ASP [/opt/casp] /usr/local/casp/
Next you will be asked to select the locale you want to use as your primary locale from the list. Localization affects various locale-specific details including date-time formats, currency symbols, permissable numeric formats, etc. I have selected option ‘1’ which goes for United States
Which locale would you like to use? [1] 1
Next you have to specify the web server you are using . The installation script will automatically find the current web server or you can manually specify the web server also. There will be 4 options like
1. Exhaustive search (slow) | 2. Search in: /usr, /opt, /etc, /var (moderate) 3. Search the common Web server locations (fast) 4. Don't search (specify Web server on next screen) Select your option.( '2' will be good option) Which type of search would you like to perform? [2] 2 Searching for Web serves ...
After search you will get a list of web server( httpd conf paths). Select your current web server.
Which configuration option would you like to perform? 1
Then you will be asked for a confirmation like
Web server information | Main configuration file: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf | Binary: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd | Version: 1.3.37 | Type: Apache | Port: 80 | Root: /usr/local/apache The Web server information is correct (y/n). [n]y
From here we are going to CASP Server configuration steps. Unless you are an experienced Sun Java System Active Server Pages user, it is strongly recommended that you use the default configuration settings. Installation will ask for Configuration option as
1. Default configuration. 2. Customize configuration. Select a configuration option. [1] 1
Next you have to select Administration Console Installation option.
1. Default configuration 2. Custom configuration Select a configuration option for the Administration Console. [1] 1
Then you will get a message like
Setup has finished installing the Administration Console. To connect from a browser, use this URL: http://phoenix5.poornam.com:5100 To start, stop and add users, use this script: /usr/local/casp/admtool The console's username is: admin The console's password is: root To continue, press Enter.
Press Enter.Setup will then start verify the contents of your installation. After verification you will get a Setup complete message.
Verifying your installation, please wait ..... Sun Java System Active Server Pages - Setup Complete Summary file: /usr/local/casp/logs/install_summary
This much:) You have installed CASP on your machine. You can start and stop Administration Console using the script ‘admtool’
root@phoenix5 [/usr/local/casp]# ./admtool -s Administration Console Status ============================= Web Server: Already running ASP Server: Already running URL: http://phoenix5.poornam.com:5100 root@phoenix5 [/usr/local/casp]# ./admtool -e Stopping Administration Console Engines... (press CTRL-C to force immediate shutdown) Administration Console Status ============================= Web Server: Stopped ASP Server: Stopped URL: http://phoenix5.poornam.com:5100
You can access the admin panel using http://your-host-name:5100 . Default login will be username is: admin and password is: root .
