I hesitate to offer what seems like a simplistic solution: are the web 
browser and the server running on the same computer?

Normally when you install MySQLdb it will install inside the 
site-packages directory, and so would be available to scripts whether 
they were run from a command line or a web CGI script.

I therefore suspect you need to repeat the installation of MySQLdb on 
your server machine.
