Ok so I log into my site today and it informs me that there are security updates to my drupal install. I usually manually update the site because my web server does not have an FTP server running on it.
So I connect up with putty and start browsing the site directory. I navigated to drupal/modules and tried to look for ctools but didn't find such a directory. I then navigated to drupal/sites/all/modules/ and didn't find any ctools directory there either.
Where would one find this ctools module so you can update it manually? Here are all the directories that are listed under my drupal/modules/
- aggregator
- block
- blog
- book
- color
- comment
- contact
- contextual
- dashboard
- dblog

do a search on the system for ctools or look in the system table of the database for the ctools path. if you installed from an installation profile, I suppose it's possible that the modules are stored elsewhere. Though I've seen accidental uploads in the past which placed the module in the wrong folder.
Nice hint!!! I never knew
Nice hint!!! I never knew that existed, thank you. I used the commerce_kickstart installer so it was located inside of there as opposed to my normal modules directory.
