[applications]


The [applications] keyword defines a section in which to specify information on how the ASP Server handles ASP applications. There are several ways to define an ASP application on the ASP Server. For more information, see Configuring ASP Applications.

Parameter
Explanation
use_aliases (yes/no)
If use_aliases=yes, then any virtual directory or alias defined in the Web server configuration file is treated as an ASP application. If use_aliases=no, then the virtual directories or aliases defined in the Web server configuration file are not treated as ASP applications by the ASP Server.
config_name
(optional)
This parameter enables you to specify the name of the ASP User Configuration file. Any applications defined in this file are dynamically recognized by the ASP Server without requiring the ASP Server to be restarted. If config_name=.aspconf, for example, the ASP Server looks for this file name in the document root directory of the Web server.
Entries in the config_name file should use the following format:
/[appname]
There are two limitations on applications defined in the ASP User Configuration file. First, the files in the application must be located within the document root of the Web server. Second, the directory containing the global.asa file must not be below the top-level directory of the Web server document root directory.
/casp-sys
Location of Administration Console support files and default error page.
/dbms
Sun ONE ASP DBMS for MySQL application.
/caspdoc
Absolute path name of the directory containing the Sun ONE ASP product documentation.
/appname
(optional)
To define an ASP application on the ASP Server, use the following format:
/[appname]="/[path_name]" (the path name must be enclosed in double quotes)
where [appname] is the name specified for the application, and [path_name] is the absolute path name of the directory containing the application files. If no applications are defined in the [applications] section, then the ASP Server treats the document root directory of the Web server as the location of the "default" ASP application.
