Me neither. If this was a brand new installation then everything should of been created. Guess cPanel need to sort out their installation script for AP.
Either someone has accessed your guestbooks admin and edited the templates or accessed your site someother way. I'm guessing it's the templates they edited or possibly the language file.
1 - Download new copy of the guestbook
2 - Back up your existing guestbook files
3 - Extract the new files from the zip
4 - Delete the config.inc.php file from the NEW files as well as tmp and public folders
5 - Upload the new files to replace the old files on the server.
That should put you on the latest version and restore everything to how it was.
