Convert Drupal to ASP.NET or Migrating it to DiscountASP??

I recently inherited a website created with Drupal CMS.

It appears that Drupal itself was written in PHP, and this particular website that I inherited uses PHP, jQuery, javascript, and CSS.

Since DiscountASP supports PHP I tried just copying over the existing websites data, but that didnt work.

The Drupal Wiki states this as far as requirements:

Drupal runs on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP 4.3.5+ (including Apache, IIS, Lighttpd, and nginx) and a database (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store content and settings.[4]

Ultimately I will be programming the additional pieces of this website in ASP.NET, but I need to either convert this Drupal website to ASP.NET, or I need to get it to function as is with DiscountASP.

Has anyone here used Drupal and have experience with this? Specifically in relation to migrating it from an existing hosting service to DiscountASP or one like DiscountASP?

Thanks!

 

The php part isn't a problem, but we don't support MySQL or PostgreSQL. Only MS SQL. I've messed with Drupal a bit, and hacking it to use a database it wasn't designed for would be painful and time consuming. About the only thing I could suggest is hosting the database elsewhere and the application here. Not the ideal solution, but it will work until you can replace Drupal.

 

Thank you for the response mjp! Definitely not the solution I was hoping for, but probably the most viable, and definitely a good interim solution!
