Hi,
On my PC at the moment I use the IIS webserver to test my ASP pages before uploading them to my web server. This allows me to check any databases (MS Access) that i'm using are functioning as they should.
Obviously Mac's don't have IIS, and as far as I can see there's no ASP compatible web server for it. However, Dreamweaver sort of has its own built-in testing server - would I be able to test my ASP pages offline using that? Does anybody know if i'd be able to connect to Access databases with that too? I know they don't make Access for Mac's, but I could use VPC to make changes to the actual database file if needed.
Bit of a complex question, hope you guys can help me out. I was reading
this review which said:
While we're talking about platforms, anyone out there developing ASP.NET pages from a workstation running Mac OS X? Well, it's supported if you buy the Mac version. Try and find another program that gives you this level of ASP.NET support on a MAC!, so that got me thinking that maybe standard ASP (not .NET) would work in the same way.
Cheers,
Nick
