Help! Fatal Error on One of My Blogs

This is my homepage message:


Warning: main(/home/tree9/public_html/brownfurniture/wp-includes/load.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/tree9/public_html/brownfurniture/wp-settings.php on line 19

Warning: main(/home/tree9/public_html/brownfurniture/wp-includes/load.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/tree9/public_html/brownfurniture/wp-settings.php on line 19

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/tree9/public_html/brownfurniture/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/tree9/public_html/brownfurniture/wp-settings.php on line 19

What I did to make this happen:

I couldn't remember my password and the email address I put in was wrong so I decided to use PHP admin to look up information. Only problem is I have 50+ Wordpress files and I didn't know which was which. To find out which, I went to the WP fantastico panel and found the site and pressed delete. Then it asks are you sure you want to delete WRDP_50 and then I know it's the 50 database. So I say no, go back and look up the email I used and I come back and this is what's showing on the site.

Am I finished?

Can I edit line 19?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Those errors mean that those files are missing
    wp-includes/load.php

    You may want to look via FTP and see if the files are all there.
    If anything upload a new package via FTP.

      Thank you very much for your help. I can't open my wp-includes folder. I also can't upload the fresh wordpress files over the current files.

    Are you using FTP or cPanel?
    Does it give you an error or anything when you try?

      I'm using FTP.

      I get this message:

      550 Can't change directory to /public_html/brownfurniture/wp-includes: Permission denied

      550 Can't remove directory: Directory not empty
      : /public_html/brownfurniture/wp-includes

    Well, It seems that Fantastico may have protected that install.
    You could try right clicking on the folder and checking the permissions.
    But I doubt it is going to allow you to do that also.

    You might have to do a database backup.
    Verify that it is good.
    See if you can download your wp-config.php or at least open to copy the code and details that are in it.

    Also you will want to download your entire wp-content directory or at least wp-content/uploads
    and wp-content/themes/

    And anything else in there that you want.


    Create a new database.
    Import your old one via phpMyAdmin

    Go to Fantastico and see if you can delete the old install.
    Make sure your old database is good first.
    Even if you have to create a test install somewhere else.

    Now upload the WordPress package.
    Open your copy of the wp-config.php in an editor and change the database details to the correct ones.

    Upload your wp-config.php and the contents from the wp-content directory

    See if your site works.

    Make sure you backup anything you can.
    Especially that database, that is first.
