Supporting Local VO Rosources
The @lab contributes many of it's own resources to the VO. These pages will help document the configuration and management of those resources.
Upgrading Drupal
The @lab drupal site has aged significantly. It's not been updated since 4.3.x. In order to upgrade to the latest release in the 4.x line (4.7.6 as of this writing) all intermediate version update.php scripts need to be applied to the database. This is pretty easy to do. It just requires that you install the intermediate releases, configure them to point at the database, and step through the update.php scripts.
Links to older versions of drupal are not too hard to find, at least back to 4.5. The basic URL structure for the release page is http://drupal.org/drupal-x.x.x and the download file is http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.x.tar.gz. Before the 4.5.0 release, the release pages don't have well-known page names, seems Google is the best option here, just look for drupal-x.x.x, where the x's are the vesion number. The file structure changes, but it's still guessable, just replace "tar.gz" with "tgz".
Some additional important notes for upgrading can be found on the drupal site http://drupal.org/upgrade/
