And, just for the official record, the database massaging that I had to do was related to the db using specific and no-longer functional IP addresses, rather than “localhost:8888/myWPsite/…”
I installed and used the extraordinarily functional, if potentially havoc-wreaking, InterconnectIT Search and Replace Script. It works wonders. But, as they warn, “Delete this utility from your server after use by clicking the ‘delete me’ button. It represents a major security threat to your database if maliciously used.”

Thank you jc62! Those links helped point me in the right direction. I then had to do some serious DB massaging, but it paid off. It’s back, baby! It’s back!
