Delete the index.php from the child theme. You don't need it. The only two files you really need to create a child theme are style.css and the screenshot for now.

Is your parent folder named "Ultra" or "ultra"? If you have the template listed wrong (case sensitive), this may cause the error message you are seeing. So if the parent folder is actually "ultra" you will need to spell it that way in the CSS line for "template".

Does your style.css look something like the following?

Theme Name: Ultra Child Theme
Theme URI: 
Description: Child theme for Ultra
Author: 
Author URI: 
Template: ultra
Version 1.0
*/

@import "../ultra/style.css";
