Sorry, I forgot to mention that the front and backend are running on
the same machine.

I've checked that. In the settings table, I have this:

mysql> select * from settings where value like '%Server%' ;
+-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+
| value             | data               | hostname          |
+-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+
| BackendServerIP   | 127.0.0.1          | replay.cabuki.com |
| BackendServerPort | 6543               | replay.cabuki.com |
| MasterServerIP    | 127.0.0.1          | NULL              |
| MasterServerPort  | 6543               | NULL              |


I have the following line in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1               replay.cabuki.com replay

Should I set the host for the MasterServer* settings to
replay.cabuki.com ( or localhost ) or should I change the host for the
BackendServer* settings to NULL? I'm at the office now, so I'll have
to try these when I get home.
