Drupal is a flexible platform and it truly does make it easy for someone with no programming or web design skill to create useful, user friendly websites. The community that supports Drupal is vast, and the module add ons are seemingly endless and well documented.
The first user created on a Drupal install is the master administrator. I reset the user name to this account to "admin", and the password is reset to "drupal2007". You can use this account to administer the server or to give new users administrative rights. The workstation logs on as "student" automatically and this account has administrative rights on the machine.
The original installation will be accessible for a limited amount of time at http://70.135.188.118/. I still use it to host files occasionally, so I will try and keep it up as long as I can.
Thank you to Larry Press for giving me the opportunity to work on this project and making me stick with it, and to the Apache Friends open source community for creating the XMAPP software suite and taking the difficulty out of the install. Now I can tell my friends that I designed my own website with it's own forum!
If a future student needs to work on the server and has any questions about the installation, you can contact me at Ryan@AllionHealthcare.com and I will do my best to answer them.

Congratulations on a cool project!
Could you put together a tutorial note for future students summarizing what you have done and including the URLs of sites and documents you have found valuable?
