apache and data base driven sites

[watts3000]

I would like to know is there some way asp pages can be servered off of apache I heard that it was some type of plugin that could be installed.

I could be wrong, but I believe you need IIS to get all the features of ASP pages (mainly reuse of COM objects).

There are a few products out there, ChiliSoft ASP (I believe that company was bought by Sun) for one. But the products are very expensive and, IMHO, not really worth it. Besides, if you want a really good dynamic site, I'd say go with PHP. It does everything ASP does (and more), is easier to program in (especially if you've done work with C or C++) and is supported by almost every webserver out there (unlike Microsoft crap).

JSP is quite popular as well. Here are two servers to host it:

Jakarta Tomcat

Caucho Resin

I concur with Rainford's analysis.
