Problem running ASP pages

Im trying to publish a web site that uses asp and mssql, at first i tried IIS which seemed to work when i tested it using IE http://<my ip> except for the forum which didnt. But no-one else could see it, from other computers ppl got "cant be displayed". I am now trying apache, the one with the built in mod perl thing for asp? Now other ppl can see the index.html but none of the asp stuff works let alone sql i really need to get this working :| is there any version of any web server that comes with everything installed? A version of apache that already works with asp and mssql would be great.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Do you have a firewall to protect your network? If so, you need to open port 80 and link that to your server, so that ppl outside of your network can access your server. This providing, you set up IIS or Apache to listen to that port.

If you install IIS out-of-the-box and you are able to see the asp pages from your own computer, you are also able to see the pages outside of your network as long as your firewall allows this.

IIS is working but i dont really trust it :| Does anyone have any tips about getting apache working with asp? I downloaded what i thought was the right version (Perl-5.8-win32-bin-0.3.exe) and installed it, html works but asp doesnt. Maybe i need to edit the httpd.conf im not sure :|

Can't help you with Apache, but I have IIS running for years without any problems. Just make sure you have the latest security patches downloaded.

Still do not understand why you are able to see the asp, but other ppl not.

Maybe you could post some code for us to see whether your problems are code related.

I agree with rdoekes. There's no real point in trying to move your ASP to apache. If you can see the file running on your network, then the problem is your configuration with either your DNS or host headers (if you're using a domain name), firewall, or some other network config error. It isn't IIS. Almost everyone runs ASP on IIS, so if you have issues with Apache setup, it'll be difficult to get help.

above are right imo too .. it's probably some network/security issue

as for apache: i'm not really well experienced with it and it's been quite a while.. so cant really help you with specific information. However check this site it might come in handy:
