Dan, Thank you so much. I was able to get it figured out after I smoothed out an issue with the database. My assumption is something with the database was causing it to throw this confusing and unrelated error. I changed the settings files around too but really did not change or remove anything that would have made a difference. Or should have. The app was not included, etc.
