 In this example, let's assume the workstation is named "fidel." So - a new project called mfpl would have the development domain name: mfpl.fidel (below we will edit the /etc/hosts file so that this non-public domain name will resolve to the development workstation).
 
+Create a projects directory in your home directory:

+{{{
+mkdir ~/projects
+}}}
+
 Apache can be configured so that it dynamically sets the document root based on the domain name.

 == Steps to create a new project ==
+
+With your environment setup, you can easily start a new project by following these steps:
+
+ * Choose a name for the project. In this example, we'll choose the name mfpl (and remember - in our example the computer name is fidel).
+ * Create the mysql database with:
+{{{
+mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE mfpl; GRANT ALL ON mfpl.* to 'mfpl'@'localhost' identified by 'mfpl';"
+}}}
+ * Create a your project folders with:
+{{{
+mkdir ~/projects/mfpl
+mkdir ~/projects/mfpl/web
+mkdir ~/projects/mfpl/cgi-bin
+}}}
+ * Add a new domain to your /etc/hosts file. Add it to the line that starts with 127.0.1.1 (you can safely create the line if it doesn't exist). For example:
+{{{
+127.0.0.1       localhost 
+127.0.1.1       fidel.sunsetpark.mayfirst.org   fidel mfpl.fidel
+}}}
+
+Now you are ready to begin. You can start placing files in your project's web directory and access your project at the URL: !http://mfpl.fidel/
