 * Hi,
 * I followed a forum telling my what files to delete to get WP3 Total Cache off
   word press.
 * It said to delete the db.php file….which I did
 * When I went back into Word Press I get this error message:
 * **Warning: require_once(/home/tedand5/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php) [function.
   require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/tedand5/
   public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 329**
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/
   tedand5/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/
   local/lib/php’) in /home/tedand5/public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 329
 * Urgent —- What do I do?
 * Have I lost my website?
