When Drupal services a page from an installation, it goes to 3 places to
find the modules/themes/etc for the site.

The first place it looks is in the specific site folder, so that for
example, a site with a URL of example.com could have its modules stored in

sites/example.com/modules

If the site is on a sub domain or a different port number, there are
rules for how to build up the name, and rules for partial matches.

If there is no directory that matches, then Drupal will default to
looking in sites/default/modules

After looking in the site specific folder (or the default) then Drupal
goes to sites/all/modules which will have the contributed modules to be
used by all sites

Lastly, Drupal goes to /modules to find the core modules.
