Trying to bridge Coppermine and SMF 1.1 RC2

[southernlady]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and SMF:
[/Settings.php doesn't exist. Correct the value you entered for Relative path to your BBS's config file]

Coppermine install: http://www.magichatsmi.com/forum/gallery
Forum install: http://www.magichatsmi.com/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.8
Forum version: SMF 1.1 RC2
Test user account: test/ the_password_for_the_test is abcdefg1

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.magichatsmi.com/forum/gallery/bridgemgr.php
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forum/
Use post-based groups?:  0

I've also tried this:
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forum/gallery/

I've run a search of all the bridging questions on the forum, READ the manual. and yes, I do know the difference between a relative path and a url. I moved mine due to the way the bridge was coded. As it was, it would not run set up with them side by side. Coppermine had to be located inside the forum for this bridge to work properly on my setup. I've been coding and running forums for some time now. Have two others. A vb and another smf. Had no trouble installing the photo galleries there but using MKPortal which I don't want to use with this particular one. I need to keep the static html pages not a portal.

Please give me a straight answer, not a url to another thread or tell me to read the manual. I've done both. I would appreciate the help or tell me it can't be done. Liz
