I removed it so I could make some changes as an Admin that were not working.

I was under the impression that it would generate itself again...but I don;t see it....and I am getting errors like the attached in the main forum (my users are seeing this error) and at the admin login screen.

Any help here?

Chmod ./inc/ to 755 and it will regenerate itself.

It is set at 755 already. I did it again to make changes recurssively...and still nothing.
Changed it to 777...it's there now.

Sounds good. Since you say it is there now, I assume everything is working again.

I suggest that you go into your admin panel, and then click on the "Tools & Maintenance" tab. Scroll to the bottom, and then make sure everything is chmod to what it is supposed to be. Smile.

Good point, and thank you! Yes, it is fixed now.

Out of curiosity, does leaving everything in my INC folder set at 777 leave me vulnerable?
