Thanks, just a tad too late
I got it successfully installed it turns out I was doing everything right on my own, just was suffering from this problem
www.joomlapolis.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,38/func,view/id,20097/catid,34/limit,6/limitstart,0/
and thought it was an installation error.
I'm now however confused with how to make the control panel work without turning on define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 ); while my site isn't in dire need of security I would prefer to have it off so I feel better.
