I had run checkconfig.pl before posting here, but all it said was TimeZone must be UTC, which seemed unrelated to my problem, and as far as I could recall, the system had always run on CDT before.
By changing the timezone to UTC, it allowed checkconfig.pl to continue running. I then got a bunch of missing modules.
I tried using the apt-get statement generated ( apt-get install libapache2-request-perl libbusiness-creditcard-perl libdata-objectdriver-perl libdigest-sha1-perl libio-aio-perl liblwpx-paranoidagent-perl libtext-markdown-perl libtheschwartz-perl) but it bailed on E: Unable to locate package libdigest-sha1-perl every time.
I was abl to use the apt-get statement once I removed the sha1 library. cpan on those modules also worked.
Per allendw in #dreamwidth-dev, there's a new replacement package for libdigest-sha1-perl called libdigest-sha-perl.
I had initially tried installing that, but before I tried to compile it, allendw suggested that installing the cpan for SHA instead
that seemed to sort it, but then my databases wouldn't start. I had to go into config-private.pl and change the hostname back to localhost from what I had defined it as before, but that might be more my system than a general thing.
I reran checkconfig and it came back clean, ran bin/texttool.pl load and was able to get apache2 to load.
Now my site is back up and running, thanks to the awesome people at #dreamwidth-dev (who are all here as well, I believe).
