Answer 1

If you are interested in Common Lisp to be exact and do not want to go the weblocks route I would recommend the following setup:

1. Use SBCL on Linux but with multiple thread support
2. Use Hunchentoot as a web server which will provide you with all the server processing required including sessions and cookies
3. Use ClSql to communicate with MySql it has ample documentation and is very stable.
4. For the HTMl generation you can use Dr Edi Weitz Cl-WHO (very well documented).

Note all the above are under GPL or similar license (one that works more for lisp programs)
