Solved. And I’m a moron.

Wonderful things will happen once your brain wakes up and you remember to check your error logs.

Turns out, I tried to put an apostrophe in the *middle* of the entry value under “$bb->name =”

Seems that it caused an “Unexpected T_STRING on line 20 in /blog/forums/config.php” which was what ultimately “blanked out” the install.php script.

My appreciation and apologies go out to all whose time I’ve wasted. Namaste.
