Problems migrating PHPList to new VPS server

I am trying to migrate an installation of PHPlist via the Installatron installer provided by the cPanel console on a VPS. This error occurs in red under the URL heading:

! This import will require 1MB of available disk space to complete. Sufficient disk space is currently not available.

For assistance or to add additional disk space, contact your web hosting administrator.

Technical Error: Unable to create directory `/public_html/phplist'.

I went into SSH and created the /public_html/phplist folder using mkdir and the problem still persists. It's a newly leased server with 60GB of space -- 1mb shouldn't be an issue.
