site/all/modules is where you
site/all/modules is where you want the modules to be. Put them back in there and try again. The chmod (permissions) shouldn't matter, but if they are set to 755, then you will definitely have no troubles.

site/default/modules
thanks I tried to 755
Sites/default/modules is where I want them to be but I've try also with site/all/modules and it doesn't work either
Now to try, I've put one module (cck and captcha) in each all/modules and in site/modules.
but same answer: drupal don't see it
I don't know if the problem comes from my server or if it's in Drupal
I think you misunderstood me
I think you misunderstood me - sites/default/modules is the wrong location. It should be sites/all/modules.

gotcha
Ok I understand.
Ok I've deleted the modules in sites/default/modules and keep site/all/Modules(755). (2 modules in it: pathauto-cck)
But it remain the same; it doesn't work. I don't know why? all I still have is core optional and core required it doesn't add something else.
Are you putting it in
Are you putting it in site/all/Modules? It should be sites/all/modules. No capital M, and an 's' on 'sites'.

Damm you damm right
Damm!!! you damm right body. I had put a capital M. Thanks for your notice.
What is the difference between site/all and site/default. I did place it in site/all.
sites/default is for other
sites/default is for other stuff. Your settings files go in there, and files that aren't part of the core go in there. And Drupal doesn't look inside the default folder for modules!
As a programming tip: Always use small letters for EVERYTHING. Filenames, html tags, attributes on tags, absolutely everything. It saves little problems like this, and makes things cleaner. I never use capital letters anywhere (except in javascript, but that's different).

Backup and Migrates
Thanks for the tips!!!
I'm trying to set up my last module for today : Backup and migrate
it says:
Unable to create or write to the save directory 'sites/default/files/backup_migrate'. Please check the file permissions on your files directory.
my file attributes
sites/default 755 or (rwx r-x r-x)
sites/default/files 775 (rwx rwx r-x) ---I'm trying to change it to 777 via ftp but it tells :Operation not permitted
default/files should be
default/files should be 7-5-5.

Operation not permitted
Seems to me I can't change the file attributes to 755.
Actually it's 775 but Operation not permitted
when I want to change it via FTP (filezilla)
When I go to my hosting panel I can't change it either
Also in My hosting panel in sites/default; all the files have been create by me (user) except the folder files that has been created by Apache (user) I think that's why I can't change the file attributes
If you can't change it, you
If you can't change it, you need to contact your hosting company. It doesn't matter that the system created the file.

I'm contacting my hosting company
It doesn't matter that the system created the file...
You mean even if I create the file manually when Drupal gonna write something in it, it won't work it will says the same problem of the file attributes?
I'm sorry, I didn't really
I'm sorry, I didn't really understand your English there, but maybe I can explain what I said a little better.
You should be able to change the values of the CHMOD (ex: 755) whether you create the file, or whether the system creates the file. It doesn't matter who creates the file, you should still be able to change the value. If you can't change this value, then you should contact your hosting company.

Can't see modules
I was able to see all my modules yesterday under the administrator/site building/modules and I went in today and the screen comes up blank! Anyone have any idea as to why that would happen??
