Hello,

my webpages I've recently started to create in MediaWiki collapsed totally. Instead of any webpage, you now only get a 500.shtml webpage:

http://avenarius.sk

This happened gradually: at first, only a few webpages showed 500.shtml instead of the actual page, then more and more, and right now you get 500.shtml for all pages.

All I had been doing prior to the first occurrence of a 500.shtml webpage was manually deleting porn spam pages titled "Forum.jspa". Every other day or so, a robot would set up that webpage. I later deleted each such page manually. This may have happened about 25 times or so in total.

Now, there is no page left at all. I had been downloading regular database backups via cPanel; I tried restoring 14 of those backups, going as far back as 27 January 2007, but the result is always the same: 500.shtml instead of the actual webpage.

The last backup prior to the first occurrence of a 500.shtml webpage is this one:

http://avenarius.sk/misc/avewiki.gz

Its restoration via cPanel or phpMyAdmin failed to produce any results, although no error was reported upon restoring the database. I tried many combinations of charsets / SQL structures, to no avail.

Is there any help?
