I am having problem after problem installing webmaster tools on my joomla site.

Method 1
php Code:
http://www.ictinsite.com/googlef344e81d071f4d58.html 
 
When I come to "verify" I get a message saying cannot validate dues to "404" error.. Wierd.:confused:


Method 2
When I add the meta tag it says I need to remove the following meta tag before it verifys..
php Code:
<head><meta name="verify-v1" content="piT1PgnGgnAcerchOUMG52UNGGy/X+OXCq4/X64WNJU=" >
I have it installed on another Joomla site but for some weird reason its not playing ball on this occasion ..

any suggestions..?

Please can someone shed a light on what I need to do to rectify the problem and if someone can point me in the direction of a guide or something that would be great.
