Hi Jim,

What does the install tool reveal about your path and general config? 
Looking at the source of the loadTCA function, it seems that this is a basic 
configuration issue.  For example, your path seems to be repeating a portion 
of itself around the double slash:
/apache_sites/testsite/typo3/typo3conf//apache_sites/testsite/typo3/typo3/...

Post back more info, I'm sure you'll have it soon.
