In the end I decided to do a full re-install of the server, php AND mysql. Everything seems to be working fine now. My guess is that the first crash was caused by a server overload or something, which then damaged my php installation. Why it worked fine over my network but not over the internet is a mystery to me... Anyway, its fixed now and hopefully it won't happen again.
