Apologies for the length of this post. I have a Drupal install where the drupal files (and all content) is on one server, and the database is on another. The site itself is working fine, and all admin tasks are possible from the admin UI.
However, when I try to execute any commands using Drush, I get output similar to the below.
command used: drush up --debug
Output:

Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. [error]
Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to:
* bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a
configured database. In this case you can select another site with a
working database setup by specifying the URI to use with the --uri
parameter on the command line. See `drush topic docs-aliases` for
details.
* connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be
wrong or the php-cli may have no access to it in a jailed shell. See
http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.
Drush was attempting to connect to:
Drupal version : 7.34
Site URI : http://default
Database driver : mysql
Database hostname : localhost
Database port :
Database username : db_user
Database name : [db_name]
PHP executable : /usr/bin/php
PHP configuration : /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
PHP OS : Linux
Drush script : /users/castaff/dfitzpat/.composer/vendor
/drush/drush/drush.php
Drush version : 7.0.0
Drush temp directory : /tmp
Drush configuration :
Drush alias files :
Drupal root : /users/castaff/dfitzpat/public_html
Site path : sites/default

Intrestingly, the command:
drush sql-cli connects fine.
If anyone can shed light I'd be most grateful. I've tried:
- replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1;
- Replacing with the exact ip of the server on which the database is located.
I'd like to find out where this is failing and then (obviously) how to fix it.
Many thanks.
