How is the mysql database hosted? Is it local to your minecraft server? or is it on your web server?

If it is not on your mc server, did you set up remote hosts to allow external servers to connect to it?

Also that config file looks like it is from an older version.

Make sure to get the java and web files off the direct links on the front page if you can, they are far more likely to be up to date.
