 Argh, I found the problem. I had renamed config.inc.php to config.inc,
instead of just making a backup copy ...

 Thanks for the replies!

 As nice and comfortable as most php apps are, every single upgrade of either
 php or the application itself is a major pain. Something *will* break,
 something is guaranteed to break, and one needs to go nosing around for
 patches. Which will make it break again with the next upgrade.
 I'd better stop now ...
