I see that APACHE has a module plug-in for IIS to load asapi dll,and got APACHE to work on my robot and server where i have HOUSEBOT as a localhost,still need to read how to use the IIS module with APACHE and then get APACHE to work on LISPWORKS AI software for my robot,witch they say it does work
QUESTION i have is how do i control HOUSEBOT hardware from remote terminal,do i use devices.xml or header.inc
need to know how to a command to turn off or on lights and devices

Another option is that you could run the php mod on Apache. If you have the socket extensions enabled, you could connect to HouseBot using the External Com control and control/query the server by calling the socket function calls in PHP. I've never done it, but it should work.

If you go the ASP route, you can install the configuration import for the web samples. That will give you sample ASP code for it.
