You had error in the leap step, never actually made a prmtop file.

You have to add an entire ACE residue (or at least the heavy atoms), not just
one C atom. Also, you have two residues labelled "1" (ACE and ALA), which
will confuse LEaP. Also, there is no N atom for the ALA.

Don't try to run sander until you get LEaP running the way it should.

...good luck...dac

p.s.: are you sure you want to add the capping groups to a complete protein?
