Thanks, Rubens.

Ran netstat to confirm that MySQL is listening on port 3306.  After moving the 
original persistence.xml to persistence.xml.orig, I then copied 
mysql_persistence.xml to persistence.xml (even though I think that Maxim said 
that admin.sh should create a usable persistence.xml).  Interestingly, when I 
look at persistence.xml, the MySQL username and password were correct.  Despite 
all that, I still get:

[ERROR] [main] org.openmeetings.cli.Admin - Install failed A connection could 
not be obtained for driver class "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" and 
URL 
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openmeetings?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&
createDatabaseIfNotExist=true&characterEncoding=utf-8&
connectionCollation=utf8_general_ci&cachePrepStmts=true&cacheCallableStatements=true&
cacheServerConfiguration=true&useLocalSessionState=true&elideSetAutoCommits=true&
alwaysSendSetIsolation=false&enableQueryTimeouts=false&prepStmtCacheSize=3000&prepStmtCacheSqlLimit=1000".
  
You may have specified an invalid URL.

Hmmm.
