As Arsalan said, ossndata must be in a directory that is NOT visible to the web. This means if your site root (http://mysite.com) is in htdocs/mysite.com/, your ossndata directory should be htdocs/ossndata. If you want to put ossndata somewhere else, you can set a different directory in ossn.config.site.php. Try putting ossndata in a directory that's not viewable to the web, make sure your config file reflects that change, and for good measure you might want to try a chmod -R 777 ossndata to make sure you don't have any issues with permissions.

Thanks for the Reply, Here is the Issues, My site is running on /mysite.com/htdocs/ossn_data files/ thats the directory having the issues, and if I tried unzipping ossn files in folder eg /mysite.com/htdocs/ossn with file inside, the website link will go through mysite.com/ossn_data not mysite.com after the installation, and through mysite.com/ossn everything is working perfectly well including cache and Components being installed without any problems i wonder what exactly am doing wrong here.

Check that your Ossn installation has the correct owner and access rights.
You can use the verifyperms.php tool to investigate. See

If your website is inhtdocs/mywebsite.com/ your ossn_data directory should be in htdocs/ossn_data/

For some reasons your ossn_data directory must not be inside public directory or htdocs.
