I may be out of sync with myself here.  In trying to simplify things, I’ve done 
the following 
(after the appropriate backing up steps, db dump, etc.):

Loaded the files in my wiki directory from mw-1.22.7 .  First, because I was 
having the same
problems with a blank wiki *even after commenting out all extensions from 
LocalSettings.php*
I decided to start fresh and have only the files from mw-1.22.7 in 
/var/www/wiki.  
I then checked LocalSettings.php for structural naming (wiki root etc) and all 
looked ok.
I ran ‘php maintenance/update.php’.  No errors returned.  Yet still a blank 
wiki.  Is it possible that
I’ve outsmarted myself and the MySQL db from my legacy wiki is now out of sync 
with the wiki 
files (which I removed after backing up)?

I can reconvene the wiki as it was before; all the files exist as backups.  My 
suspicion is that at some
point my LocalSettings.php ran afoul of a MW update, even with extensions today 
commented out, and if
I try to debug it, I might get to the heart of the matter.   I must admit I’m 
not sure what process to use
(logfiles) to follow for debugging.
