I'm jumping into updating a Classic ASP web app coming from a PHP background and am trying to get my bearings. I'm used to just installing something like MAMP, messing the httpd.conf a bit and getting on my way.
Ideally, I would like to be able to edit this app completely locally on my Macbook Pro running OS X Leopard so that I'm not messing with my client's server too much. Now, if I need to I'm willing to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp or running it as a virtual machine. Of course my preference is to stay completely in OS X, but I have my doubts about that possibility. So, how should I go about this?
One thing to note is that once I'm done updating this ASP web app I will have to make changes to a VB(.NET) application as well, so I'd like to have to change my virtual workspace as little as possible when that time comes around.
As you say, you will need to install Windows via Boot Camp or VM (your choice).
Once in Windows, you can install Visual Studio 2010 (Express free), where you can edit your ASP Classic files, and you will have it already installed when you need to do VB.net
Do not forget to install IIS when you install Windows (you will need it to run ASP Classic)

I am trying to learn kentico so i install kentico in my laptop. when I install it, it is working fine like MedioClinic, Dancing Goat example. But when I restart my system the below link no longer reachable. If I uninstall and install then it works again. Is there any service need to run after reboot system?

http://localhost:56624/Kentico12_1_DancingGoatMvc
I am a new to Kentico. Please help me to understand.

Most likely what is happening is the port number is being reassigned so those instances are not running. OR it's dependent on a Visual Studio instance to be running with starts IIS Express in the background.
My suggestion would be to register them in your local version of IIS to avoid any complications you might run into with Visual Studio and IIS Express.
I have a set of machines, a mixture of Linux and Windows Boxes.
I hav set up rsync to pull from the Linux Machines to a Linux Server box.
I am trying to accomplish the same using cwRsync, to pull to the Linux box from the windows machines. I have downloaded the free version from https://www.itefix.no/i2/content/cwrsync-free-edition and also I have downloaded CopSSH. I have managed to install CopSSH fine and I am able to SSH between the Linux and Windows hosts no problem using keys rather than passwords.
However, for the life of me I can't get this cwRsync working, I've googled the matter to death, and your meant to unzip the directory, configure the environment settings in the batch file then install it. However, there is nothing to install it with! and the reason it isn't working is because it needs to install a windows service for it to run.
Any help would be much appreciated!
As described at itefix web page for the free edition, it allows to initiate rsync from your Windows machine, i.e. client functionality only (push data). Server functionality allowing you to set up an rsync server on Windows to pull data from it is not a part of the free edition.
i want to setup IIS(internet information service) on my laptop. what is the setup formality or setup.
Installing IIS
This question should be moved to Server Fault however. Also, once posted there, you should provide a lot more information about what version of Windows, what version of IIS, and so forth.
Also, if you're just doing development, Visual Studio comes with a small development server, so IIS installations aren't usually needed for development.
I'm looking to set up a local server on my laptop which is running Windows XP Home Edition. I've noticed that it is impossible to install IIS on the Home Edition, but is there a way around this? Is there other software that I can install to run a server?
the purpose behind this is to mess around and play with ASP to create dynamic websites and my only computer I own has Home Edition.
Also, would running a server on my 5 year old laptop with 2GB of RAM be a good idea?
Windows XP Home Edition does not come with IIS (only Professional). There are workarounds available, but Home Edition was not designed for this. Visual Studio (full and express) come with Cassini, which is a version of IIS you can use for testing/development.
What is your desired result?
You can always install Apache. It should work fine on your HW.
This is what I use: http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/
The X1 version is totally free and works great. You can then add PHP as needed (or not)
Yes there are ways like http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htm
If you are developing using Visual Studio 2005, 8 , 10 you don't need IIS.
The hardware should be fine as you will be the only user accessing the website :)
Download Ultidev Cassini and be happy...Ez to configure and use in both localhost and local network.
My friend accidentally bought a laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. He figured out how to install IIS on it, but it doesn't seem to have either the management console or the admin tools. Is there any way for him to configure a site or import an IIS 6 config file?
EDIT: "Windows Vista Home Edition" --> "Windows Vista Home Basic Edition".
Not entirely certain here, but start the IIS console on another machine and tell it to connect to the laptop? The normal management console snap-ins all support remote operation.
Yu need to go back into Windows Component Setup and choose to install the Managemnet console(s).
Control Panel>Programs->Turn Windows Feature on and off.
You will see Internet Information Services in there, go under there and you will find the management console(s).
And yes, they are available to be installed on Vista Home. Once installed you can setup by opening Control Panel->Adminstrative Tools and you will see the IIS manager in there.
Per Microsoft Technet, IIS Management Console is unavailable on Windows Vista Home Basic and Starter Editions though it is available on Home Premium and above. And I can confirm it doesn't appear in the list of options when I install IIS.
Okay, not being on Vista I don't know for sure, but on XP the application which controls IIS is %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc. Perhaps hunting around for iis.msc would be a first step.
You should be able to do an upgrade to home premium. I'm pretty sure it's available at quite a low cost. My Home Basic laptop came with a CD that had all the necessary stuff for upgrading to a different version of Windows (I upgraded to Linux). If you really want IIS to do development work, you should really upgrade. Or if you just want .Net, you can install VS.Net Express and use the development server.
