Description

Today, out of the blue, my entire site went down with this error:

"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"

It was working fine one minute, and gone the next. I didn't alter any of these files. I googled this, and it turns out a lot of people are having this problem, but no one seems to have a solution. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it needs to be fixed, asap.

Check:

  1. The perms on your wp-db.php file have at least a '4' in the last two columns (i.e., they're of the form x44 or higher).
  2. The perms on your wp-includes.php dir at least have a '5' in the last two columns (i.e. they're of the form x55)

To be honest, this is more of a support request, and trac isn't the place for them.
