[support] drupal6 modules error

[Ryan LeTulle]

If it was me, I would install a drupal site the "old fashioned way" and see
if you get the same errors.  I suspect you have some sort of permissions
issue.

   1. download latest tar at drupal.org
   2. untar into your default apache folder more than likely /var/www for
   ubuntu if this is a fresh install and no other virtual hosts etc
   3. create database in mysql
   4. browse to yoururl.com and follow the onscreen instructions to complete
   installation

It's about a 5-10 minute process.
