Chili!Soft ASP
Your Solaris Virtual Private Server can provide total ASP
support using Chili!Soft ASP a fully-compliant
ASP interpreter. This means that Chili!Soft's ASP is compatible with Microsoft ASP, to ensure that
applications developed with Microsoft ASP will run seamlessly on your Solaris Virtual Private
Server. Chili!Soft supports JScript and VBScript ASP layout, as well as a wide range of database
interfaces, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. In addition, Chili!Soft can connect to most
remote databases. Developing ASPs for Chili!Soft can be done directly, or by using any of several
popular Web site design tools, including Microsoft
FrontPage and InterDev, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe GoLive!, and Allaire HomeSite. This wide
range of support makes Chili!Soft a powerful, yet easy to use tool for designing and managing
dynamic Web sites.
NOTE: Chili!Soft and
ColdFusion will not work on the same Virtual
Private Server. Be sure to have only one or the other installed on any one Virtual Private
Server. |
NOTE: Chili!Soft is available on the VPS platform only. Due to
licensing restrictions, Chili!Soft cannot be installed on the MPS platform. |

Huh?
If you don't know the Virtual Private Server O/S, try the following: Usage
When Chili!Soft is installed on your Virtual Private Server, a process called caspd will
start up automatically. This is the Chili!Soft daemon program. You may also see a process called
caspeng running. If for some reason caspd is not running, you can start it by running
startcasp from your Virtual Private Server command prompt. If you need to stop your
Chili!Soft server for any reason, the command stopcasp should be used. The Chili!Soft web-based administration tool is available to help you manage your Chili!Soft
server configuration and your ASP applications. In order to use the admin tool, you will need to
start it running on your Virtual Private Server. To do this, connect to your Virtual Private
Server via SSH or Telnet and run the following
command.
% virtual /usr/local/casp/admtool -s
To stop the admin tool when you are finished using it, run the following command from your
Virtual Private Server command prompt.
% virtual /usr/local/casp/admtool -e
Because of the load the admin tool will create on your server, we recomend that you only have
it running while you are configuring or developing ASP applications on your server. Your Chili!Soft configuration settings are stored in a text file named casp.cnfg located
in the ~/usr/local/casp/asp-apache-3000/ directory on your Virtual Private Server. You
should not need to make any changes to the default casp.cnfg file unless you are setting up
advanced options such as turning on or off Virtual
Subhosting, or adding applications. Documentation
