This would have been my first guess that you forgot this step. Was there 
any more info displayed in the erl shell? Try

whereis(mysql_dispatcher).   at the erl prompt you should get the pid 
back fror the mysql_dispatcher process. eg,

509> whereis(mysql_dispatcher).
<0.93.0>

if not what did the erlydb:start(mysql, ...) result in?

In answer to

doing wrong.

<<"SELECT ">>,<<"*">>], <<" FROM ">>, <<"entry">>], []],
  [<<" ORDER BY ">>, [[<<"id">>,32,<<"DESC">>]

translates to "SELECT * FROM entry ORDER BY id DESC" by the time it 
reaches the database server.

32 decimal is the integer value of space. Do a "man ascii" on most unix 
boxes will give you a table of ascii values in octal, hexidecmal, and 
decimal.

hope that helps. How familar are you with erlang and unix? what platform 
is this on? etc.

On another note, we need a fancy acronym like LAMP: Linux, Yaws, Mysql, 
Erlyweb. LEMY? LYME (pronounced lime)? That's not bad. LYME - the new 
flavour of web development.

Jeff.
