OK, it is more than likely the hacker got into your site based on a weakness in your web server file system. Of course, we can't be sure from what we know, but that is normally the case.
So, now we need to know about the web app. Is it written in PHP? PERL? Something else? Is there a database?
In other words, you more than likely need to rebuild your OS from scratch and install your web app again; but from what you are telling me, you are not even sure if your web file system in clean or not.
And, if you don't know much about this technology, it is going to be very difficult for you to secure the filesystem so it does not happen again.
So, there you have it. I've given you the basic answer. But if you insist you don't "really know what you are doing", then the best advice I can give you is to go out and find someone who does and pay them to do it if it is a business app.
Is it a critical business app? Or just a personal "for fun" web app?

apache_child_terminate
APACHE_CHILD_TERMINATE(3) 1 APACHE_CHILD_TERMINATE(3)
apache_child_terminate - Terminate apache process after this request
SYNOPSIS
bool apache_child_terminate (void )
DESCRIPTION
apache_child_terminate(3) will register the Apache process executing the current PHP request for termination once execution of PHP code is
completed. It may be used to terminate a process after a script with high memory consumption has been run as memory will usually only be
freed internally but not given back to the operating system.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if PHP is running as an Apache 1 module, the Apache version is non-multithreaded, and the child_terminate PHP directive is
enabled (disabled by default). If these conditions are not met, FALSE is returned and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.
