Did you remove install directory after setup? Did you modify read/write rights of mainfile.php after install? What happened on your site? Which modules do you use on your site? Do you have a logfile?

You have to be more specific, otherwise no one will be able to help....

Delete your Template Cache, and then if
that's the case then another site on your shared host
is doing it from their site with a PHP hack uploaded to their own site, moving files from their site and overwriting your templates folder, because they saw you use xoops, they know where on the server your folder has read/write

Contact your Host if this turns out to be the case.

Hope this helps.
