You need to decide on a platform first.

If you must use Linux/Apache then ASP would be an extra add-on and it would
make more sense to use PHP or Perl.

If you decide to go with a Windows server then you will have IIS and ASP at
no additional cost and should probably use them (I don't see a lot of point
in buying a Windows server and then using Apache).

MySQL can be used with either Apache or IIS/ASP.
