Apache wont let my load databases

| Hey,
I just downloaded and installed Apache 2 as I need something to replace a
more primative server,
Im running Win XP Home
Anyway,
I have a few .asp pages on my site which recall information from some
..mdb's.
My little server program displayed the info I wanted just fine, but apache
seems to not...
Any ideas how I could get this to work? Im kinda new at this...
Thanks

Apache doesn't do ASP

For ASP you will need a Windows server - either IIS or the PWS on XP-Pro
alternatively, rewrite your ASP in a language that Apache does understand

I wouldn't know about it, but mod_asp seems to say otherwise.

As I understand it, ASP isn't a "language", it's a programming
interface, comparable in nature to something like mod_cgi

no idea - perhaps I should have more accurately added "very well" - seems
to be one of those ideas that smack a programmer on the head from time to
time and lo another ASP clone is born. In practice (out here in the real
world we inhabit) these projects seem to run out of steam shortly after
building support for native functionality, leaving calls to the more
useful library calls unsupported.
The mono project for ASP.NET seems to have more legs but that is an
entirely different kettle of fish.

indeed - vendor supplies vbScript and JavaScript. ASP can be used with
other scripting engines, REXX, PERL & Python are often quoted, but once
again we run into common practise.
