WordPress Upgrade

I have been using WordPress for a long time and everything has worked great.

However, today I tried to use the automatic update to get to the newest version of WordPress and now when I try to get to the dashboard it reads:

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: Unable to access /home/web/ca/talz/blog/wp-admin/includes/admin.php in /home/web/ca/talz/blog/wp-admin/admin.php on line 37

Warning: require_once(/home/web/ca/talz/blog/wp-admin/includes/admin.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/web/ca/talz/blog/wp-admin/admin.php on line 37

I have no idea how to fix this, but I assume it may have to do with permissions. When I first attempted to update WordPress it indicated the permissions were not correct.

Any ideas? I’ll keep trying things…but tough to figure it out as I cannot even get into the dashboard.

Much thanks in advance!
