Richard, I may have missed something in what you wrote, but it could be a
security issue in the mysql database.  In early version of MySQL you could
specify a host of "localhost" in your web code and access the db, but in
more recent versions you have to actually specify the FQDN.  Check the host
and user table and add the FQDN and change your web code if that appears to
be the problem.  I'm running MySQL 3.22.27 and it's necessary to do so -
broke a bunch of earlier pages that referred to localhost instead of the
FQDN.
