It might not sound good, but it means that you have apache connecting to
mkdoc.

By the way, this version of apache is very old - If this machine
connects to the internet, it should really be upgraded - If it doesn't
have an internet connection, then don't worry.

Is there a mysql 'socket'?  It should appear as a file with this
address:

    /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Is mysqld running?  (Type ps -lA and see if there is a process called
mysqld)

This is just a bit of debug code in the software, what is says is: "If
the name of the database hasn't been defined, try 'test' instead".

No .pm files are libraries, there is no need to edit them.
