Anthony,

Apache2 appears to still use the httpd.conf file for something.  
Obviously its absence is responsible for that config file read error. 

Take a look around and see if there is a default one, perhaps in 
/usr/share/apache2 if that's present, and move it anywhere that can be 
correctly referred to by that  apache2.conf line.  /etc/httpd/httpd.conf 
is where it was under Apache1.x, and it would be fine to change line 188 
accordingly.
