Install ASP on XP Home

[Ascendancy]

I found a way to install ASP active on Windows XP Professional edition, which involved activating Internet Information Services, but XP Home doesn't have that.

Help?

Nope, no help for XP Home -- unless you wish to try things like Apache Server and Apache ASP.

[Ascendancy]

How do those work?

Apache Server is the rough open systems equivalent to IIS. In other words, it is a Web Server which you can install. Apache ASP is an add-on piece of software to give ASP support within an Apache Server web environment.

I have never used them, though. That is all I know about them.

They sound pretty useful.
Thanks, I'll Google them and check it out.

Yes you can install iis on windows xp, but I would be cautious in doing so. If you make a mistake you can crash your computer. I have personally been using baby web server. It is a free download and acts as a mini personal web server...just be sure to put all of your files into a folder and change the settings to point to that folder. Simple and easy program if you just want to test your asp pages.
