Chilisoft ASP - Cold Fusion MX

[denisdekat]

RE: Chilisoft ASP. Cold Fusion MX.

Has any one set this up succesfully with cpanel? Any one found any conflicts they would like to share?

Thanks

I was also wondering about Chili!Soft ASP on Cpanel servers running RH Linux. Anyone tried this yet?

Works wonderfully. Some tweaking required but no issues with it.

Dave,

We are considering ChilliASP ourselves... do you recommend it? Is the installation difficult? Will every customer automatically get ASP support or can you define who gets the ASP support? Does it support Access .mdb databases?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Alessandro;

Works wonderfully!! Installation is not to difficult, some minor tweaking though is required. You can define which customers get ASP support in it's admin area.

As for Access? I'm not to sure. Never looked.

Hi David,

What minor tweaking is required?

I'm about to install but want to be ready for any suprises!

Kind Regards,

Neil

When configuring the Sun Chili!Soft ASP server you will get this error.

Error: The specified version of Apache (1.3.27) is not currently supported.

Note: Regardless of this fact, you may be able to build your own module that supports this version of Apache.

Compile a new module for Sun Chili!Soft ASP. Run these lines from the CASP_INSTALL_DIR/module/source/build directory:

gcc -c -fPIC -I/usr/local/apache/include -I. mod_casp2.c
gcc --shared -o mod_casp2.so mod_casp2.o
ld -G -o mod_casp2.so mod_casp2.o

After that module has been built, proceed by following these steps:

(1) mkdir -p /usr/local/chillisoft/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.27/eapi
(2) cp <generated build dir>/mod_casp2.so /usr/local/chillisoft/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.27/eapi
(3) Rerun the the installer by executing the following script:
HASH(0x81bb64c)-{asphome}/INSTALL/install.

By placing the file into the created module directory, the installer will recognize it as a supported Web server and act accordingly.

Hi David,

When modifying the clients who have access to ASP I'm getting the following error:

Csadmin.Server.1 error '80020009'
The webserver could not be started.

/caspadmin/server.vhosts.asp, line 160

How do I fix it?

Kind Regards,

Neil

That would tell me that the webserver is not installed properly in ASP Admin, or using wrong mod_casp2.

[ukhost]

Hi David,

I have just noticed that in the asp admin panel the server name is incorect!?!

Would this cause the problem?

Kind Regards,

Neil

[ukhost]

Hi,

I have fixed the server name issue, however still geting the error message.

Also if I stop/start or restart the web server from the ASP admin panel it doesn't come back up!?!

No error message or anything just says stopped!

I followed your instructions above to add the module for apache 1.3.27!

Kind Regards,

Neil

Check the following logs for errors

/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

/usr/local/chillisoft/admin/logs/error

Ensure that the following are in the httpd.conf file

LoadModule casp2_module /usr/local/chillisoft/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.27/eapi/mod_casp2.so

AddModule mod_casp2.c


## Sun Chili!Soft ASP installer
AddHandler chiliasp .asp
AddHandler chiliasp .asa
CaspLib /usr/local/chillisoft/asp-server-3026

Hi David,

From the error_log file:

[Sun Mar 16 17:27:56 2003] [notice] Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) Chili!Soft-ASP/3.6.2 mod_log_bytes/1.0 PHP/4.3.1 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b configured -- resuming normal operations

From the error file:

All httpd.conf items present and correct!!

Kind Regards,

That shows that it is up and running. The resuming normal operations is sometimes from the pid file not overwritting properly. You may want to do a clean apache stop and start and tehn see if asp admin can do it.

Hi David,

What do I need to do to do a clean apache stop, start?
