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

Coppermine install: http://rf246.johnnycrackamango.com/gallery/
Forum install: http://rf246.johnnycrackamango.com/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.12
Forum version: SMF 1.1.3
Test user account: test      password: test1

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL: http://rf246.johnnycrackamango.com/
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../gallery/ 

Thanks for any help.....

Because ".../gallery" isn't the path to your BBS config file. Your Settings.php is in your root directory.

How or where do I find this root directory?

As just_some_guy pointed out: you're not suppossed to enter the relative path from your forum to your gallery (although what you have entered would be wrong as well if we would have asked for it), but the relative path to SMF, seen from the folder your gallery resides in. Change

Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../gallery/

to

Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../

This means "one level up", which is (in your case) where you have installed your bridging app (SMF in your case).
The root folder corresponds to http://rf246.johnnycrackamango.com/. "gallery" is a sub-folder of the root folder. Use a dictionary to find out what the word "root" means.
Both your gallery as well as your bridging app are outdated. Upgrade!
