Using the echo idea, I found that the module named db_update.php checks 
the db schema and tries to update it if it is less than 2.

                 setting('WebPrefer_Channum', null, 1);
                 setting('WebDBSchemaVer',    null, ++$db_vers);

For whatever reason, it was not able to update the WebDBSchemaVer to 2 
and that was the problem. I manually updated the db (don't shoot me) and 
now MythWeb appears to be working.
