Well, a disappointing result: My server doesn't support ASP! But maybe yours does, who knows!? But how do you go on about testing... It's easy! You just create one file, upload it to your server and call it with your browser. If it works, hooray(!), if it doesn't, go and let your admininstrator know what you think of his server... :-)
Ok, we're gonna do this step by step. First, fire up Notepad and copy-paste the following:
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>ASP TEST!</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%=Now()%>
If you see a date above, your server supports ASP!
</BODY>
</HTML> |
That should do it... Save the page as 'test.asp' and upload it to your server. Now fire up any browser and have a look at that lovely ASP page. If you see the current date on the screen you’ll know that your server support ASP) If it doesn't work, don't be disappointed! Think about it that way: You would need to learn ASP (which is not an independant language, but rather a way of communicating with the server to perform a task for you!) in addition to all those other languages in order to make good use of it!
