 * maybe your uploading to the wrong folder. Thats the most likely explanation

 * nope thats not it
    its in the wp-content/plugins folder nothing shows up in the
   plugins section of the plugins management in the admin panel

 * and you’ve tried other plugins as well?
 * the thing might be that it isn’t a valid plugin file. A valid plugin file has
   to have several headers to be seen in the admin panel and activated.

 * Got a link?
 * Do the plugin files have permissions that will allow your web server to see (
   read) them?

 * I am also having this problem on a GoDaddy server. Everything in WordPress works
   except for the plugins. I get the plugin not available error after loading them
   into the plugins directory. All of my permissions look good. I have seen other
   posts in this forum regarding this but nothing seems to help, any suggestions??
   
   Thanks!

 * I’ve had the same problem with the geo plugin required for googlemapping of posts.
   It was up there before upgrading. I removed it (cleared out all plugins). Now
   I tried uploading the files again, and can’t get the plugins page to list the
   geo plugin.
 * I’ve tried setting full permissions on the geo.php file, but still no joy.
