Mapping .asp to php on Linux

[tetranz]

I'm migrating a classic asp site from another host. I want to move it to Linux and php. There is very little actual asp code that does anything useful so I'd rather go to php on Linux and rewrite a few things.

To keep the urls the same for search engines etc, is there a way to map the .asp extension so that it is processed by php on a shared Linux account? On my own machine I would just add .asp to the AddType application/x-httpd-php line in the Apache config file. Is there a way of doing this for one shared account? I guess I could use mod_rewrite with .htaccess but doing it the first way is much more efficient.

Thanks

You can try to add .asp as php extension under web option of the domain in hsphere control panel.

Thanks Praveen. That works perfectly. I didn't notice that earlier.

A note for anyone doing this. It doesn't work immediately, even after hitting the "Apply Changes" link further up the screen. It takes five minutes or so before it works. I think the Apache thread needs to recycle.

you are exactly right, apply changes makes it save, then after apache reloads it will work properly.
