Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I've installed several modules without any problems, but just recently, after I add the unzipped folders to my modules folder (as I always do), the new module doesn't show up in the modules screen for installation.
I don't know what caused this. I even uninstalled and deleted a lot of the more recent modules to see if I could get a working drupal site again. For clarification, everything that's installed works, but I just can't install any new modules. I've deleted and re-uploaded many module folders without luck.
I verified that I have page caching disabled, but it definitely seems that my module install page is still being cached. I've tried on multiple computers and have cleared my browser cache many times.
Has anyone ever seen this?

dave reidYour module administration page should never be cached. If you're logged in, your pages should never be cached. Are you installing your modules into the sites/all/modules folder?

cliffdiver1 commentedOh, and I've also noticed that modules that are disabled and even deleted from my modules folder still show on my module install page (disabled).
Comment #3
cliffdiver1 commentedI don't even have a modules folder in "sites". I've always used mysitename/modules for installing new modules. Is that a problem?
Comment #4
dave reidYou should not be using the root modules folder in the Drupal directory. That's only for the core Drupal modules. You should install other modules in either sites/all/modules or site/mysite.com/modules.

ainigma32 commented@cliffdiver1: Do you still have this problem using the latest version and using the modules dir as pointed out by Dave Reid?

ainigma32 commentedLooks like cliffdiver1 won't be posting any feedback so I'm setting this to fixed.
Feel free to reopen if you think that is wrong.
