Sun ONE ASP runs automatically whenever an ASP page is requested by a user (provided the Web server is running). Sun ONE ASP runs until the Web server is stopped. When the Web server is restarted, Sun ONE ASP will not run until an ASP page is requested by a user.

The Sun ONE ASP Administration Console is referenced throughout this documentation. The Administration Console is available for the UNIX and Linux versions of the product only. With Sun ONE ASP for Windows, all configuration is performed during installation. Some of the configuration information is stored in registry settings, however, and expert users can use regedit to edit those settings. For more information, see Editing the Windows Registry.

With Sun ONE ASP for Windows, ASP applications are defined by adding aliases or virtual directories to the Web server. Sun ONE ASP treats each alias or virtual directory as an ASP application. With Sun ONE Web Server, ASP applications are defined by adding an "additional document directory" using the server’s Administration tool. With the Apache Web server, ASP applications are defined by adding an alias to the httpd.conf file.

ODBC drivers are not installed with Sun ONE ASP for Windows. Use the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator (accessed from the Control Panel) to view installed ODBC drivers, and to create and manage DSNs. Consult Microsoft documentation for more information.
