Installing and upgrading help

I am ready to jump off a bridge I am so frustrated! I'm just an English teacher, not a computer tech, and Moodle is so frustrating for me...any help would be so appreciated.

Here's the story:  I had moodle 1.8

I tried to load the "Book Module"

There was an error that said my version of Moodle wasn't new enough.

I went to Fantasico on my Cpanel

I went to Moodle

I clicked to upgrade to 1.8.4

It stopped in the middle and wouldn't proceed.

I went back to FAntastico, and it said I have 1.8.4 installed (but it never fully installed)

I clicked on REMOVE

It said I had to "manually remove" and I think I found all the files that it wanted removed. One in my regular public_html and the others in the phpmyadmin (database and user).

Then I went to Fantastico again. It said I had no moodle.

I filled out the form, asking it to put the moodle in my domain.

I clicked "install" and it gave me the message:

You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain

AFter the entire debacle of trying to load 1.8.4 and not being able to return to 1.8.3 because I couldn't find all the files, I called my host (luckily my brother!) and said "blast the entire www.grammargal.com site, and let's start from scratch.

He did, and when I try to load 1.8.4, I still get the "You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain" message.

IF you can help me, please be excrutiatingly detailed in your descriptions. This process has taken me two days of getting nowhere because I don't understand the lingo and where to find the files...

Thank you all in advance.
