ok.. I have tried what I think is everything! The error references a file: settings.php that is supposed to be in those locations, but there is no settings.php file in those locations. Also, when I tried changing templatepath to templatepath2, it broke my site. I am out of options now, that I can find. I have even contacted youjoomla regarding the error, but I don't know how long that will take. Thank you for your support....
