Each time I upgrade, I unzip the archive to a new directory and copy over the images and extensions. So I've been using the "core" version of Vector for a while. That said, commenting out the line with wfLoadSkin('Vector') still generates the following error:
================ PHP Fatal error: Uncaught FatalError: $wgBaseDirectory must not be modified in settings files! Use the MW_INSTALL_PATH environment variable to override the installation root directory. in /var/www/gpf/mediawiki-1.38.2/includes/Setup.php:237 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/gpf/mediawiki-1.38.2/maintenance/doMaintenance.php(96): require_once() #1 /var/www/gpf/mediawiki-1.38.2/maintenance/update.php(264): require_once('/var/www/gpf/me...') #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/gpf/mediawiki-1.38.2/includes/Setup.php on line 237 ================
I'm not modifying $wgBaseDirectory anywhere in my LocalSettings.php, so I don't see why it would be generating this error. (Note that all of the files in the stack trace are MediaWiki internal files.)

Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck here. I did indeed have the old
"$IP = MW_INSTALL_PATH" block. But if I comment that out, I still get the same "Unable to open file /Vector/skin.json" error. Same goes for the "$wgBaseDirectory = MW_INSTALL_PATH" suggestion; that gives me the "$wgBaseDirectory must not be modified in settings files!" error. Neither option seems to work for me.
I _think_ Vector became part of Core awhile back. Do you have a Vector in your skins/ directory? If so, you may want to delete it. If not, look at the offending line in LocalSettings.php, and comment it out. The stack trace will tell you the offending line in LocalSettings.php.
