Happy to report that I fixed the problem described in my previous query. I did it by making a fresh install in a new database, which generated a proper LocalSettings.php file. Edited this to point to the old database and voila -- everything fixed.
So, it would seem the upgrade process may have some issue with old LocalSettings.php files. Hope this helps somebody.
Yeah, that seems to happen on occasion with old LocalSettings.php from previous installations. We have experienced it several times because we started our wiki in 2005 or so.
One other thing you should be sure to do... run 'php maintenance/update.php' after each upgrade. If the database changes, then update.php is what handles the changes for you.
