Well, "broke" and "gibberish" aren't really too useful. What we might be
able to use is an error message, or a description of the symptoms.

Now, if I go to the URL you give above right now I see:

"Error in fetchObject(): Can't open file: 'page.InnoDB'. (errno: 1)"
(followed by a stacktrace which is not too relevant)

They key problem here is your database error message. It sounds like you
have some fundamental problem with MySQL. Check MySQL's error log; check
the installation; check the data integrity of the files.
