Well, the first thing to see when deploying a django project is the settings.py file. Here you'll see the database information. Then the second step will be testing it (with the command python manage.py runserver, it should start the development server, NOT for using in production). The last thing will see the Apache configuration, and it'll depend if you're using wsgi or fcgi... More information here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/ http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter21/ Hope it isn't that difficult, you can see the configs from the old server, right?
