subtle indeed, I totally missed it. I went in and changed it and the dashboard comes up clean without FB issues. Sorry for wasting your time :-(
Your process of install that you outlined below is similar what I was doing. Just to get on my soapbox, one issue I see with open PHP stuff is the code is very specific to MySQL & SQLite which integrates the application too much with the DBMS. The whole point of a DBMS, and SQL, was to liberate the data management from the application.
Anyways, I can more a bit further now so see what I can get from site data.
