I am getting the following error when I go to my page. My installation was working seamlessly till couple of days ago. I don't what went wrong and what caused this. Any help would be appreciable.

FATAL ERROR: Root directory in configuration file probably incorrect.

Need more info.
Can you run check.php and post the results here ?
Check.php is located in the DotProject/docs directory.

root_dir /home2/dexpro/public_html/dot root_dir seems to be incorrect, probably should be /home/dexpro/public_html/dot

silly question, did you verify the path yourself?
home2/ sounds like a temp / backup directory imho

is this on a hosted site?
if so check with the ISP, did they make any changes?

I fixed the home2/ to home. But now I'm getting the following error:
