SourceMM Installation

Hey, I bought a server on gameservers and have been messing around with FTP and such to mod it just the way I like it and Im having trouble getting SourceMM to work.
Yes, I have read the FAQ's, and yes, I have read the FAQ's on their site aswell, but, I cant seem to gather enough information to figure out why it doesnt work for me. First, I tried installing the files manually, then I restarted the server and got on, went to my console and typed in meta like it said to do, and it came up with invalid command. Then, I tried the automated installer, restarted my server, went to my cosole and tried meta again and still invalid command came up. Im new to running servers so I might be missing something small. Know of anything Im doing wrong or missing?

Check here how to install:
http://wiki.tcwonline.org/index.php/Installing_SourceMM
(Problaly something with the gameinfo.txt or metaplugins.ini)
But make sure you installed the correct version for your server, if you downloaded the Windows version and you have a Linux server it won't work.
Oh yeah I suggest if you rent the server you just send a support ticket to the hosting company and ask if they can install SourceMM for you.
Good luck ;)

Did you type it in your console or the server's console ?, because you need to type it on the server's console. :idea:
