 * I really have no other way to describe it; but now my whole website has this 
   message
 * Warning: main(/home/jurojun2/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php): failed to open
   stream: No such file or directory in /home/jurojun2/public_html/wp-settings.php
   on line 73
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/jurojun2/public_html/wp-includes/
   wp-db.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/jurojun2/
   public_html/wp-settings.php on line 73
 * (see jurojun.org)
 * I have double, triple checked DB information and what not. I’ve tried to see 
   what “line73” is, but notepad just opens it up as one continuous string.. if 
   anyone has any idea what this is about, help please!

 * Hello, I’m having the exact same problem:
    Warning: main(/home/guchuj05/public_html/
   wp-includes/wp-db.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/guchuj05/
   public_html/wp-settings.php on line 73
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/guchuj05/public_html/wp-includes/
   wp-db.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/guchuj05/
   public_html/wp-settings.php on line 73
 * I didn’t change anything in that file. If anyone can help, I’d really appreciate
   it.

 * Jurojun-
    On advice from my web host I reuploaded all the files and that fixed
   the problem. Good luck!
