Hello
I was wondering how I update the modules included in the O.P package? I notice some of them (cck) don't even appear in the Modules folder; where are they?
Also, will it mess with configurations if we just delete the mod and re-install it?
Thanks
Devon

modules are in /sites/all/modules
As usual, 3rd party modules are in /sites/all/modules. CCK is also in there. As of today, all the modules are updated except the Calais module. Regarding update, all you need is to overwrite the existing module, and run drupal update.php file. Here are the steps of updating Calais module:
Suppose you are in /home/updater folder.
That's it :)
WARNING:
As usual, you should backup your database and files before applying any update.

Drush
If you use drush it is even easier.
You can just go to your drupal root and drush -u 1 update. This will update all out of date modules and run update.php. Like @stattalk said though, ALWAYS backup your code and database.
Thanks!
Thanks Guys,
Loving O.P.!

drush for Drupal core?
Just wondering if drush will update Drupal core as well?

@stattalk, don't think so.
@stattalk, don't think so. Drush is extensible, so in theory anything can be added, but I have not seen a plugin for core update.

How 2 update drupal core without drush?
How do you update the drupal core module without using drush? (with just the web interface and FTP). what steps do u take? It says i need 2 update 2 Dupal 6.15 [says security update required]
I follow the following
I follow the following steps.
1. backup existing database
2. backup existing drupal root (folder drupal is installed)
3. download the latest drupal tar file, then untar (unzip it using the web interface if you have that facility). Once you extract it, you will get a folder called openpublish.
4. Remove the sites folder from openpublish.
5. Now upload all the files and folders in openpublish to your drupal root folder. this will replace all files and folders in your drupal root.
That's it!

Yeap, you basically download
Yeap, you basically download new Drupal, remove sites folder and replace it with the "sites" folder from existing OpenPublish installation. Backing everything up along the way, like stattalk suggested is always a great idea.
