The guestbook should always be installed in a separate folder such as "gbook" or "guestbook", as instructed in the installation guide.

Not sure what the composition of your website is, but you may need to delete file "index.php" and/or replace it with your own (original) index.php file.

Oh, and you will also probably need to clear your browser cache as the old index.php (redirecting to gbook.php) is likely cached in your browser.
