thought i best post this just incase its some interest to some people, the problems i had in the previous post have all been sorted out. The problem was that i was downloading the files on a windows box and then extracting them on ubuntu, it just didnt like it. In the end i did everthing from the downloading to the extracting on the ubuntu os and now it works a treat. Would also like to thank everybody for there help with it.
Regards
