Everleap supports Classic ASP for legacy applications. Classic ASP runs alongside ASP.NET — both can be active on the same site simultaneously.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Everleap Control Panel at cp.everleap.com.
  2. From the top menu click Shared Sites.
  3. On the Shared Cloud Sites Overview page, click Manage next to the applicable site.

Verify It Worked

Upload a simple test.asp file containing the following, then open it in a browser. If it prints OK, Classic ASP is running.

<% Response.Write("OK") %>

Delete the test file when you are done.

Notes

  • Classic ASP and ASP.NET can coexist on the same site.
  • For new projects, ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core is recommended.
  • Changing this setting triggers an application pool recycle.
