NAME

Apache2::ASP::Config - Configuration object for Apache2::ASP web applications.

READ THIS FIRST

NOTE: This module requires the environment variable $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} to be set to the path where your Apache2::ASP application lives.

For instance, say you keep your website at /var/www - you would set $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} to /var/www.

If you keep your *.asp pages inside /var/www/htdocs - you would still set $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} to /var/www.

If you keep your *.asp pages inside /usr/local/mywebsite/htdocs - you would set $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} to /usr/local/mywebsite.

If $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} is not set, Apache2::ASP::Config will do its best to guess it for you. Usually it's pretty good at it, and you will never know the difference. However, if this module keeps failing and can't find your config file, it's most likely because $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} was not properly set.

Clear? Good.
