I ran into some troubles with my hosting of amol9.com, it is a shared hosting space. I wanted a wiki there, so I installed one using a software installer available via the hosting control panel. The software got installed. But, it did not work. I examined the error logs and I think that the wiki software has installed an entry in the Apache configuration. It might be redirecting all the requests to the wiki start page script, this is the page that errors refer to.
One solution that came to my mind was to examine the Apache configuration file(s) and edit the entry there, if it is there. Then, I would remove the files related to the software installed and then I would install some working software, likely in a subdirectory, installing the software on the main directory of the site must have caused this problem, making other software unavailable. But, the Apache configuration file(s) are not directly available, what is available is access to some entries via browser interface, entries which are not useful for the purpose of solution of this issue.
The only way forward seems to be to remove all the installed software and reinstall a working software. This may not be straight forward. I might have to contact the technical support for the hosting and they might even move the hosting space. Considering this, I am moving a copy of the site to my laptop, I am downloading an archive of the home directory.
