Drupal's not recognizing the latest version of Fivestar that I just installed...I installed it by simply copying it into my "modules" folder, like how I did with the now-expired version....
How can I get Drupal to recognize that I've got the latest version of a module??
TIA!!

Run update.php
Did you run the update process (example.com/update.php)?

Yep, but No Deal!
Still not working...the webhost advises that it's the old Fivestar module breaking the site...unfortunately, the new version is precisely what I have, whose installation is what set off this latest Drupal-headache!
Make sure you are
Make sure you are over-writing the old version with the new version and not making several copies of the same module name. Also make sure you are installing the modules into the sites/all/modules folder and not into the root modules folder.
Yes, Dave
Thanks for the advice. Turns out that CPanel's File Manager wasn't deleting the old module like it says it was. I'd delete the module, and CPanel's File Manager would show it as having been deleted (that is, the file[s] are/were no longer there), but in truth it really was still present, though not displayed for some reason!
Same thing with CPanel's WebDisk...except at least with WebDisk, you could refresh the view and see that the file was still there for some reason. With File Manager, it'd show that the file was deleted when in fact it wasn't!
So that's (part of) what had screwed things over: I hand't, indeed, deleted the old module at all!
Damn, I think the CLI-holdouts win this one against the GUIers.... ;-)
I'd always recommend an FTP
I'd always recommend an FTP Client (FileZilla) or an SSH client (putty) over any kind of web-panel.
