Do you have an installation of 5.1 on the same area? If so, see what is 
pointing to that directory. If not, double check that you actually have 5.6 
and/or 5.7 installed by looking at the module's .info files for the version 
string.

I would look to the web server configuration to make sure something didn't get 
changed there. Maybe it's pointing to the wrong directory. Maybe there's a 
redirect somewhere.
