How are you extracting it?

If you are ssh'ed into the server and doing it by hand with wget and gunzip, remember that the archive is embedded in a top level folder (fabrik-master), and if you just extract it, it'll wind up in that folder, rather than actually extracting into the correct locations. You can work round this by getting the tarball instead of the zip, and using the 'skip-components' switch ...

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/archive/master.tar.gz -O - | tar -zx --strip-components 1
