Yes, I have the minimum system requirements. A clean install of 2.2 is successful on the same server and I am able to log in as admin on that clean install.
I have run the full upgrade twice with the same results. It is extremely odd. I am considering setting up a second manual admin account in the 1.9 system and re-running the upgrade to see if I can log in with that second account. I am also considering disabling all other authentication types prior to upgrade to see how that goes.
I have not yet tried enabling debug. As soon as I do, I'll post the results. Thank you again for your assistance.
