Mysql may not be at fault, but your myth setup is. From experience, that
'Proto version' error is a result of myth not properly connecting to the
mysql server.
Check the mysql.txt and config.xml files. Use the real IP address in
both. Myth has to use these files to commence contact with mysql so it
can query the settings table. So this sort of error does not correlate
with values in the settings table.
Check that there are no extra versions of these files. If you want
duplicates, make them symlinks.
