In case anyone else sees this frustrating message.
The fix I found was to uninstall Magento from the directory, then reinstall, but on reinstall, the setup wizard informed me that 2 PHP extensions were missing.
I logged into WHM and use Easy Apache to add those extensions, I put the original files back and voila back in business. Its weird that the logs does not mention those extensions.
Here were the missing PHP Extensions:
PHP Extension Intl. PHP Extension Iconv.
Best regards.
