Last update on this, I have solved the issue.

I managed to get into phpmyadmin (the error mentioned above was because I
was trying to connect to the ssh port instead of the web port, duh) I saw
that in the list of allowed users and locations, the IP address of the
backend was not included, only its hostname.  Not sure how the frontend
connected last time.  But I added the root user in for the backend's IP
address and everything now works fine.  I still get the odd error when
going into backend setup, but I can live with that for now, assuming it
doesn't cause any issues down the line.

Cheers

Martin
