Hey guys I solved it by creating a comments.php file in my theme root dir and copy-pasting the default file from HERE

I had the same issue and figured it out. I enabled comments and got this error because I didn't have a comments.php file in my working theme folder. I just copied the comments.php file from the default twenty fourteen template and pasted it inside my folder. I had a weird message about attributes you can chose to use and had to edit a function to get it to disappear. I removed this line: 

<?php comment_form(); ?>

and replaced it with this:

<?php comment_form(array('comment_notes_after' => '')); ?>

That got it working exactly the way I wanted without that notice.
