FrontPage Server Extensions for Unix?

beetle496 asks: "Okay, so I didn't research my choice of ISP adequately. Despite running Apache 2.0 on Red Hat, the only option for dynamic content they support is FrontPage Server Extensions. I am quite comfortable with X/HTML and CSS, and am okay with JavaScript. I am annoyed enough that I would buy FrontPage, were it available for my preferred platform. I've performed the customary MSDN and Google searches. The best I came up with was a page on FrontPage UNIX Server Extensions, which sounds exactly on target, but didn't help me. Can anyone point me toward a resource on writing HTML code to make use of FPSE (aka, webbot) -- without using FrontPage?"

...that PHP (albeit an older version) is installed. Create a file called phpinfo.php in your web root, and put in the following:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Then, visit the page in your browser. If you see the code, or it wants you to download the file, you're SOL. Otherwise, rock on!
