I've fixed the Installing Modules page so that it accurately reflects
the paths for 4.7 and 5.x. I also edited and re-arranged parts of the
text to help the reader follow along better. Issue closed.

On this page, http://drupal.org/node/70151 item 3 of the instructions
reads:


'Upload the files via FTP to the desired modules folder in your Drupal
installation. This could be the modules/ folder, but it is preferred to
create sites/all/modules/ and put contributed modules there, which will
make it easier to update Drupal later on. Other possibilities are
sites/default/modules/ and sites/www.example.com/modules/'


I'm told on the forums that for 4.7, the modules/ folder is the only
place to upload modules.

It is not true that /modules is the only place to put the contributed
modules in 4.7. You can also put them in /sites/default/modules or
/sites/example.com/modules to make them visible only to one site (in a
multi-site).


The /sites/all/modules directory is supported only in Drupal5.


For core modules, it is always best to leave them in /modules.
