Yep, it should be up and running now, the main thing is to get it updated to the latest version, and maybe withing the framework of a workshop. I was talking to the helpdesk of hosting company canadianwebhosting.com and was told we are still running on an old configuration server, php 4.4.x and mysql 4 , and if we upgrade we would, i think be able to move / they can upgrade the server to php 5 and mysql 5 ... needless to say, a newer version of drupal.
