I have an Apache + PHP server that I can upload code. Can I use languages other than PHP to do server-side coding? [closed]

If I understand your question correctly, you have a Apache + PHP server that you can upload code to and you can install Lisp etc on, but you can't reconfigure Apache?

The best answer would really be to talk to whoever controls your server and get them to enable the appropriate mods or mod_proxy-ing to whichever language or application you want.

But if this isn't an option, you could implement a reverse proxy in PHP that passes all calls through to your Lisp application.

Apache is usually compiled with support for modules. PHP is one such module that is generally configured within your apache.conf file. If you have access to edit your apache.conf, you are able to include other modules that exist on the system already, or modules that you add to the system.

Examples of another module you can add would be mod_wsgi, allowing you to serve from python files.

What you want to search for, is apache modules.

Apache supports a lot of languages besides PHP, you can check all of them here and how to get it: http://projects.apache.org/indexes/language.html

Most of these language can be supported at the same time, you can install them by using modules or scripts in cgi-bin-
