unarchive the pathauto.module download
upload the unarchived folder to your drupal installation. Put the folder in sites/all/modules
goto adminsiter -> modules
enable pathauto and it's dependencies.
you will find you need the token.module too
inside the downloads are a README.txt and/or an INSTALL.txt file that you should read.
Thank you
Thank you verry much for your advice,
but i've just copy the file (it is a file.tar not a folder)in the sites/all/modules as you said and i went to administer>modules but the path auto does not appear in thelist of the module!
So Can you give me the right version of pathauto that i should instal(for drupal 5.8), then i'll try if that will work!
Thanks in advance!

you skipped the first step of which is that you must unarchive the folder from the .tar.gz file.
you have to extract the folder from the archive before you can upload it to the server.
There are many programs that will handle unarchiving the folder from the archive for you. investigate 7-zip which is available for free.
The correct version of pathauto.module to use with Drupal 5.x is the version that has been reccomended for use with drupal 5.x which is listed on the project page of pathauto. The version listed is 5.x-2.3
side note:
you should also note that you should be using Drupal 5.9. which is the most secure and bug fix release. follow the upgrade.txt file including in the 5.9 download.
thanks!
thank you very much for your advice!
i'll download the module tooken now then i'll continu the installation!
Thanks again and goog continuation for you!
Niaina!
Note that, depending on your
Note that, depending on your method, you may have to unarchive a .tar.gz file twice to get what you are really looking for. If you unarchive a .tar.gz and get a .tar, you must then unarchive the .tar file.
