Problems extracting OCS install files

[nls]

I downloaded the ocs-2.1.2-1.tar.gz.gz file to my Win desktop and then ftp'd it to my Unix based webhosting co server. When I try to extract it:
>gunzip ocs-2.1.2-1.tar.gz.gz
>ls
>ocs-2.1.2-1.tar.gz
>gunzip ocs-2.1.2-1.tar.gz
>gunzip: ocs-2.1.2-1.tar.gz: not in gzip format
So I tried renaming it to .tar and got
>tar xzvf ocs-2.1.2-1.tar
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
(I tried using tar with the file ending in .tar.gz and got the same error)
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.
Any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi NLS,

Try running the following command from the documentation on the original package: http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/docs/userguide/2. ... ckage.html.

Cheers,

I needed to find out how difficult OCS was to install before you were able to get back to me. I was able to force an install with >tar -xf ocs-*.
Thanks for your reply, I'd missed the link to the online docs. That's very helpful.

Hi NLS,

Good to hear you got the problem fixed. I'll also clarify my earlier original statement (which must have been written in a rush, as it doesn't make much sense): you'll find comprehensive install instructions included in the docs/ directory in the original package you downloaded; you can also follow the link I provided to find detailed instructions for OJS -- the installation instructions for each system are identical.

Cheers,
James
