Sun's One Server worked great up until Sun Disappeared. Now looking around the landscape the classic ASP solutions are all abadoned.
Apache::ASP appears to be perl wrapped in ASP tags. Chilisoft ASP no longer exists. Old versions won't compile against new Apache 2. Sun's package solution doesn't even have a support page anymore.
Where did everyone with ASP code running on a unix server run to? Is it time to pay the outdated code tax?

It should be noted that even if you found a way to run classic ASP/VBScript code on a Linux (e.g. Apache or nGinx) server, many legacy classic ASP applications are dependent on Windows COM+ objects such as CDONTS and other custom DLL's, which will not run in Linux.
When is the end date for Classic ASP support? Microsoft have officially stated that they will continue to support classic ASP on Windows 8 for a minimum of 10 years. Windows 10 was released on July 29 2015, which means we can expect to enjoy Microsoft support for classic ASP well into 2025.
It used scripting on the server to create content that would then be sent to a client's web browser, and it enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in its time as a result. Classic ASP, however, is no longer being developed by Microsoft at all - it has long since been replaced by ASP.NET in 2002, a newer alternative.
I found this one: http://www.mono-project.com/Mod_mono
Mod_Mono is an Apache 2.0/2.2 module that provides ASP.NET support for the web's favorite server, Apache.
The module passes off requests for ASP.NET pages to an external program, mod-mono-server, which actually handles the requests. The communication between the Apache module and mod-mono-server is established using a Unix socket or a TCP socket.
