Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-monitor.3.3.5.2.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Destination folder already exists. /domains/icr8zy.net/public_html/home/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/
Plugin install failed.
Point to note is that i have multiple WordPress blogs running on my server, http://home.icr8zy.net and http://download.icr8zy.net.
I was trying to install a plugin from download.icr8zy.net but instead while installing the plugin, the destination they tried to install was to my home.icr8zy.net.
how do i rectify this so that i can install plugins to the correct directory?
If I understand what you are saying, the way you have it set up should work fine, installing plugins to different subdomains, assuming you have a different WP install in each subdomain.
Something is mixed up if this doesn't work. Can't tell from what you wrote what that might be.
If nothing else works you can upload the plugin files manually to the correct location using an FTP program. That way you know they are in the correct folder.

yes, they are different subdomains and each has their own WP installed.
If i'm controlling both WP i do not mind manually transferring via FTP, but the thing is that the other subdomain is not controlled by me.
Should i delete the whole Plugin folder or change the permissions?
Hi
There is no reason a properly configured WP installation on http://download.icr8zy.net would be trying to install plugins in the http://home.icr8zy.net plugins folder.
Something is configured incorrectly either within the download WP installation, or else on your server.
On the downloads subdomain, check the Dashboard menu Settings / General. Make sure the WordPress Address and Site Address URL is
http://download.icr8zy.net
Make sure that nothing in the download installation's wp-config.php file is pointing to folders in the "home" installation.
Make sure nothing in an .htaccess file is redirecting anything from "download" to "home" .htaccess files can be in more than one folder, including the root folder of the icr8zy.net web space, above the subdomain folders.

Done.
Make sure nothing in an .htaccess file is redirecting anything from "download" to "home" .htaccess files can be in more than one folder, including the root folder of the icr8zy.net web space, above the subdomain folders.
Done. .htaccess file is blank.
Make sure that nothing in the download installation's wp-config.php file is pointing to folders in the "home" installation.
Done. Went to edit the wp-config.php file and looked for "home", none.
My other subdomains like http://paulgasper.icr8zy.net & http://eldridchampion.icr8zy.net is having this issue too.
At this point I think you should submit a ticket to your webhost's support, explaining what is going on. This sounds like a server configuration issue, especially when it is happening on multiple subdomains.
