Description

This is a Drupal 5 site, and there was one piece of Ubercart functionality that wasn't showing up on the live site, as opposed to the test site, so we went to enable the module. And noticed not a single Ubercart module was listed at admin/build/modules even though Ubercart functionality was most certainly working on the site.

Yeah. Freakiest thing ever.

The deal was that these modules were in another multisite directory. That is, the site was running off sites/default and using modules from sites/all/modules except for these modules – the ones working and in use but not visible on the modules page – which were in sites/subdomain.example.com/modules

Looking at the system table showed them to be present at this path. So Drupal knew they were there, and was using them, but didn't show them on the administration page because the didn't actually belong to the site!

Moving them into the sites/all/modules directory and saving the modules page meant all was well.

A final missing module was a special case, the one we went looking for originally:

This Ubercart contrib module had been developed and released as a download but not on Drupal.org, and certainly not a part of Ubercart, so when

In case that's the case with any others, here are the modules available in the Ubercart directory before and after upgrading:
