[Mediawiki-l] Total MediaWiki Collapse

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?

Alex.
