It was an external server that was not returning data. I do not have strong Linux admin skills (troubleshooting) so I was having difficulty trying to determine if it was hardware or software. I thought it was MySql. I restarted Apache and MySql immediately, which did not solve the problem. I think I need to write a simple survival guide for LAMP developers explaining how to determine MySql / MariaDB and Apache are working correctly. I probably could have known it was not MySql or Apache in 10 minuted with a cheat-sheet. Then I could have focused on software.
