Thanks Holger,
MySQL is definitely up and listening on 3306. I can login fine from the
console.
There are no special chars in the password which may cause issues (i did
have this issue initially with the default root password due the @ and "
being switched on my UK keyboard ;-) ).
The fact that this is happening on both a ZEN deploy and an install from
deb indicates to me that there's either a bug in the latest version of
something about my environment that PF doesn't like.
