I was creating a few wikis at that time. So they were all new.

One did, but now I can't remember what it was, but I worked through that
error.  It was a second wiki instance that I came across these symptoms.

Yah, that was my first thought too.I cleared the cache, tried a different
browser, but still came across the same symptoms. However, I did NOT try
incognito. That's a good suggestion.  But I agree with you that this
'feels' something caching.  I just couldn't figure out what, especially
since I tried a second browser.

And then there was the other error of:

*Fatal error*: Class 'ComposerAutoloaderInit_mediawiki_vendor' not found in
 */usr/local/www/wiki/vendor/autoload.php* on line *7

But I did run a composer update.  I don't think this is related to the
LocalSettings [not] found symptom, but there it is.

These all are being served by nginx/php-fpm. Do I did neither check for
.htaccess or enable rewrite.

And according to Google, I seem to be the only person to have every come
across this symptom.

But, as I mentioned earlier, my work-around was to install it via the
maintenance/install.sh script, which I would presume bypassed any browser
caching.  I'm considering this closed, but it's here for posterity, JUST in
case a second person ever comes across this error.

Thanks for responding!
