Add the freshrpms and dag repos to your /etc/yum.repos.d and do yum
update. You may need to do yum search mplayer to find all the libraries,
I'm not sure any more.

Will start apache.

To see all available do:

chkconfig --list |more

Note that you turn them on/off per run level, so:

chkconfig --level 35 httpd on

guarantees that apache will be started when booting into either runlevel
3 or runlevel 5.
