Warning and Fatal Error Message

[SimplyHelena]

Wasn't exactly sure to post this so apologies if I have placed it in the incorrect forum.

I updated my board to 3.0.0 last week, everything's been working like a dream until this evening when I went to access the board and got the following error message.

(Ignore the *'s, thats my ftp user account)

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/*****/public_html/forums/ips_kernel/classDbMysql.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/*****/public_html/forums/ips_kernel/') in /home/*****/public_html/forums/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php on line 2100
How do I fix this?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I would guess that somebody at the server level has been playing with PHP's openbasedir setting. I suggest you contact your host. Either that, or permissions on files have been changed.

Thanks for your help.

The problem has now been resolved =)
