Today the website stopped working. I got a blank page even after a reboot of the server. I had to restore the xoops_root (httpdocs) directory and then it worked again without doing anything in terms of the database. I can't explain why. Any ideas?

It is an older backup. I made quite a lot changes.
The newer database doesn't fit to the modules installed. in the httdocs dierectory. I have to do those again!

Lession learned: Do a database backup and a backup of the files at pretty much the same time. Or to say better, if modules are updated, backup the files and the database right after it.

I still have the option to reinstall the Virtual Machine completely, but well I have never done that so far. I will first go for the backup i have and do the updates all again. Doing it the second time goes faster

No luck with debug. I no, i have no idea of themes so far. i am a newbie, well learning fast so hopefully.

I just tried a backup out from june 6th out, which works!
Probably not the database got destroyed so i will restore the one that i was thought it was hacked to see if it works with the httpdocs structure from June 6th. I always wonder why files and directories have to be 777 or 755. It should be enough to give the appache user group access, maybe with a common group?

btw, what is the most secure permission for mainfile.php?

I deleted the complete cache dirs including index.html. Hope that was not to much. Anyway it is not working.

I guess the website was hacked probably. Found some strange IPs from Egypt coming with 41.234.x.y

I found at the internet how to block those addresses with iptables command.

I changed passwords for the accounts.

The new server is online! Goto heathernova.net to see what was saved.
Memberlist was replaced by membership. Quite a great tool. I miss so some sort options, like to sort for "Last Login".
Well as admin I can still go to the Admin panel.

There are still problems left and hopefully i find a solution without bothering you to much here, but well help is very much appreciated!

Many thanks to John who helped me so much and of course so to all who give me hints here. I still need your help and well i think this is a great community here!

A friend of mine who knows XOOPS and MySQL deleted all my PMs per myphpadmin in the database and then i was able to access to the Inbox! So there must be a limit of PMs to access the Inbox with XOOPS or PHP. Where is this limit?
He will try to delete now only PMs later than January 1st 2008 to hopefully get as much as possible members to access the Inbox. It still would be helpfull to know where this limit is!

yes it so much looks like this hack was applied!

Is this hack still valid?
