Installing in the home directory?

Daktyl198:
First off: I'm new at this.

I want to use the webinstall.php to install smf in the public_html (www) folder because I just want it to be a forum site and webinstall makes it easy to install in the directory of your choice without running any re-naming scripts (not sure what those are actually called).

The webinstall works if I try to install in a sub-directory like "www/forums" but when I try to install it in the main folder I get this error:
Sorry, the FTP path you entered wasn't the same place as this installer was uploaded to.

I know it's the same place. Help?

Colin:
Make sure you are entering your full webroot directory. If
you are not sure what it is please provide your host.

Daktyl198:
By full webroot path, I assume you mean /home/username/public_html ?
If so, then that doesn't work either.

I'm using a free host: heliohost.org

Colin:
Try this /public_html/

Daktyl198:
Nope :(

I don't understand this...
Like I mentioned before; I tested it in a subfolder and it worked fine, same exact settings.
