After wading through many (many) different sites, I'd need to do this, even  
though apache2 and mysql came packaged: 
 
chkconfig --add apache2 
chkconfig --add mysql 
 
And then reboot for it to take effect (or do a /etc/init.d/<program> start  
if you don't want a reboot right away). 
 
This answers #2 above, but #1 is still open.
