I now have lighttpd running the first example in the agile book. Now it is time to do something more serious, something involving mysql. Since I have a fresh Fedora Core 5 system I am working on, I had better start mysql:

su
chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld start
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h myhost.arizona.edu password 'new-password 

OK, that gets things up and going.
