What error message?

I've deleted the files and tried to install them several times over

Should work I suppose, you need to give directories the correct permissions.
What error message do you get? (above)

Then I noticed at this page:

On my Unixbox I'd do:

ssh MYSERVER
cd WEBROOT
wget PACKAGE.tar.gz 
tar -xvzf PACKAGE 

What OS do you use?


(capitalized words are to be substituted for the actual 
package/server/directory you are trying to use)

Isn't there an installation instruction in the package you downloaded?
