it's so weird, please give us some hint...
unless you didn't try to install wcms and to run it without installing the db, which sends here...

But it first time anyone say so, so I guess it a server issue and not a phpwcms - we need more evidence

Did your site even use phpWCMS? It seems that if there were problems connecting to the database, it might forward visitors to http://www.phpwcms.de/dbdown.php

Is this possibly an install attempt of phpWCMS? The "appearance" of your site going to http://www.php.de can occur if:
new user doesn't "save" the "config.inc.php" file generated during setup and instead the default "conf.inc.php" from initial install remains:

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms["site"]              = "http://www.phpwcms.de/";

might be a server issue... i hope...

anyway we'd need proof that wcms was hacked, and it's pretty hard to understand how you could possibly have a whole server hacked on mere db connection values, since usually there's no root access or whatever in the wcms config....

do you have any other evidence it was wcms's fault?
