Just a small update, have now upgraded from my Ubuntu backend from 11.04 to
11.10, but nothing has changed, same error messages on remote frontend and
when entering backend setup.

Possibly related, I tried to enter phpmyadmin, to check out SQL etc, but
get this error message:

*SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1
Protocol mismatch.

*So quite possibly an Ubuntu upgrade issue, rather than anything to do with
myth!  Will have a mess around this weekend and go back to my backup if I
can't solve it.

Cheers

Martin
