Some Server scripting questions

[sail3005]

3 Questions:

1) What else can you use for asp pages rather than IIS/PWS/Any other MS thing? Dennis mentioned chilli ASP. Platform does not matter. Preferably windows or linux. And maybe some links if possible :).

2) I am running IIS5 (win2k obviously), how can i make PHP the default server scripting language instead of ASP

3) How can i make JSP the default server scripting language under IIS5?

I know I just asked a mouthful, but any help would be appreciated!

Thanks A LOT.

oh, and this was originally in the 'chit chat' room, but i thought it would be better in here so i made a copy of it here. Is that OK?

What do you mean by JSP?

The 2 main computer related defintions are:
Java Server Pages
Jackson Structured Programming (COBOL programming method)

neither of which are scripting languages


JSP could also mean:
Jacketed Soft Point (bullet)
Japanese Society of Periodontology
Joint SATCOM Panel
Joint Services Program
Joint Staff Panel
Joint Super Power
Joint Support Plan
Just Stay Put

I'm going to assume JSP is Java server Pages...

1. ASP is a MS technology, while there are ports for Unix, I'd think it would work best using the official MS version on Windows.

2. & 3. I would think that if your web server would be set up correctly, .asp files would be handled by ASP (VBscript or JScript), .php files would be handled by PHP, and .jsp files would be handled by the Java engine. The default scripting language would only apply to ASP.
