I haven't been following this thread, but I've been running CFMX (as well as CF4.5 and CF5) and MySQL on the same box and on different boxes, both with Windows and Linux and never had a problem with connecting to databases with any setup.
Do you perhaps have a firewall or tcpwrappers disallowing access to port 3306 (a VERY good idea) and accidentally set to disallow access from the local machine as well? That'd keep your connections from working. If I were you, that's the kind of stuff that I'd start analyzing, rather than duplicating the setup, because there are a million instances of CF and MySQL playing nice, and duplicating the set up will very likely not duplicate all those nitty-gritty settings exactly, which would make the test invalid.
