Install trouble - (Solved)

[southern]

I am not able to use the upload and install command on my site, but I have FTP'd all the files to the install directory, and then go to the install page and use the install from directory command.  When I do, it runs and then comes back with this error,

" Upload new component - Error
File /home/southern/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/civicrm.php does not exist!
[ Continue ... ]"

But I have check through my FTP and through JoomlaXplorer (sorry for spelling) and it shows that the file civicrm.php is indeed in the location where it should be.

Please help

" Upload new component - Error

it seems that you are selecting wrong directory

com_installer... it should be com_civicrm i think

some expert confirm

When you install by directory, you upload the zip file to 'some directory'  I create a new directory called /upload/.

so you'd see the file at http://www.mysite.com/upload/

You then extract that file, which creates the com_civicrm subfolder.

so you'd see the unpacked component at http://www.mysite.com/upload/com_civicrm/

You then place this folder (in its absolute path form) in the "Install From Directory Field" and execute.

 (Example : /home/user/public_html/upload/com_civicrm)

Well, I tried changing and moving it to a directory, then ran the install command on the com. panel and now I get this error

"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/southern/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/installer.class.php on line 309"

But if I go to the components and admin/compts folders, the folder is there?

Any ideas, really would like to be able to use this.

Thanks
