'I can't see the module in the configuration settings page'
Try deleting your cache manually. Inside your Magento installation folder, go into var folder and rename the cache folder (eg. to cache1). You can delete that renamed folder if everything works afterwards.
If there is still nothing showing in the configuration page, you may have missed some files. Please repeat the installation of the extension.

If you can't access that page any more you'll need to manually disable compilation.

Try running Magento and then check those log files - the default location is /var/log.
Add a number to the log filenames to see recent messages only.
Next, check your server log files for errors (location will depend on your server)
Still problems? Let's turn it off:
  1. Disable the extension by navigating to /app/etc/modules and renaming your the extension xml file, eg from .xml to .xml_off
  2. Clear the cache (if you can't access your backend cache page, just rename /var/cache (eg. to /var/cache1))
