asp + MSSQL

[jura1985]

Greetings,

has anyone used the asp + MSSQL combination on ubuntu, debian or any other linux? I'm wondering if its possible, and if it is, stable and easy to set up.

Any help is welcome: package names, tutorials and experiences.

Thanks in advance,

Jura

PS: It is not for me, it is what my boss wants :P He currently has asp+MSSQL on windows server and wants to cross over.

MSSQL can be installed on windows servers only, you need to migrate to MySql or postgresql.

And what about asp if i migrate to mysql? Are there packages to set it up on ununtu or any other linux?

I am not 100% sure, but I believe ASP is also a Microsoft "product". If I am right, I doubt there would be options for linux. MS wants you to use only their products.

Search for mono and apache.

apache is the the web server used on linux, which has a limited support for asp, but if you are thinking of migrating to linux server it is definitely a good choice. ou can also think of migrating asp application php. jsp, ruby, python could be other choices.

I know when I was installing php + mysql back in the days, I had the LAMP package, so I was wondering if there was a similar thing for the asp + mssql.
Anyway, thanks for the help, looks like I'm in for some testing.

Mono can run ASP.NET webapps on Linux - but ASP Classic (most recent version released 12 years ago) cannot usefully be executed on Linux.
