You must put the whole module
You must put the whole module directory in the folder.
So if you download the xxxxxxx module, you must extract it from the archive, and copy the folder into sites/all/modules. Make sure that the following files exist:
/sites/all/modules/xxxxx/xxxxx.info
/sites/all/modules/xxxxx/xxxxx.module
Then it should work.
Thanks mark, But I did
Thanks mark,
But
I did exactly what you said, but I can't found the files you was talking about :
/sites/all/modules/xxxxx/xxxxx.info
/sites/all/modules/xxxxx/xxxxx.module
Are they coming with the module normally??
Thanks you.

Ok, so you should have the
Ok, so you should have the following:
/sites/all/modules/views/views.info
Now when you go to admin/build/modules you should be able to enable the module. What do you see?
I've still got no change and
I've still got no change and I can see about 20 items but not any of view or cck.
I tried to restart wampserver, but nothing at all.

please ensure you are using 6.x modules. Drupal 5.x modules will not work on Drupal 6.x.
if you are sure you've properly uploaded the entire module folder
please take a screencapture of your administer -> modules page
upload it to a photosharing site and link to that image here.
ok this is the link

they all look fine.
What are the permissions on the sites folder
the all folder
and the modules folder
Yes, everything does look
Yes, everything does look correct in those pictures! Very strange problem you are having.
The permissions could be it, but maybe you've installed some other contrib module that has disabled the installation of more modules?
Can you confirm that you haven't enabled any other modules previously?
No I haven't enabled any
No I haven't enabled any modules or themes previously.
But what is pernmissions where I can found them?? I saw a kind of permission but it user permissions I dont think it that.

server level permissions on the folders. You can get to these through the drupal adminsitration area. use your hosts file manager or an FTP tool of your choice.
more information can be found by using google: search term; CHMOD
I don't think CHMOD will work
I don't think CHMOD will work locally because it's a Windows system. :[
If you haven't enabled any
If you haven't enabled any modules or themes previously, then how did you get that menu across the top of the browser? The one that says "Grippon" "Concert du mois" etc?
The only other thing I can think of is maybe you have set your localhost webroot to point to the wrong directory.
So for example, you have C:\drupal-6-12 and you are looking at http://localhost/drupal-6-12 but maybe they don't point to the same folder. You may have two copies of Drupal, one in C:\drupal-6.12 and another one in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal-6.12
To test for this, you should navigate to http://localhost/CHANGELOG.txt ... you should see a text file with the Drupal changelog displayed.
Then, edit this text file, type your name at the top, and then refresh the browser. You should see your changes. That confirms you are looking at the same copy of drupal as your web server is. ;)
Well done mark, I was working
Well done mark, I was working with 2 drupal, and the C:\drupal-6-12 was the wrong one, the true one was in C:\wamp\www\drupal-6.12.
Thanks again all of you.
What webserver are you
What webserver are you running? Is it IIS? Maybe that's the problem. Try Apache (XAMPP)
