There were a couple steps missing from the instructions on the
wiki page above: including mod_setenv in the lighttpd config
and making the mythweb data directory writable.

I've updated the page and it should now be current.

The other problem was that I botched one of the steps and put
some PHP commands in the wrong include file.

It's working now. :)

Now all that's left to do is set up my Mac Mini "diskless"
frontend [It's actually got a hard drive in it, but it's not
used and will be spun down] and pulling some network cables. To
get the frontend and backend any further apart you'd have to
move one of them to a neighbors house, so the cable pulling is
going to be a bit of work.

It should start recording any second...

And it failed.  Mythbackend doesn't seem to know where to put
the recorded files...
