 * Hi There, Just updated the latest version of Contact Form DB and I received this
   error..
 * **Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘CF7DBPlugin.
   php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php’) in /home/content/70/4678670/
   html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/CF7DBPlugin_init.
   php on line 24**
 * Before that everything was working just peachy. I have updated my server support
   for PHP recently to 5.3 instead of 5.2.
 * Let me know if you have any suggestions!

 * Sounds like the file CF7DBPlugin.php has been deleted from your installation.
   Might want to re-install the plugin.
