Dear Glenn,
I've gone through this dspace migration procedure many times.
When you are not upgrading dspace, the steps are straight forward (but
usually time-consuming).
Recall from memory here is the steps:
1. copy all src from old machine to new machine
2. copy the dspace-dir from old machine to new machine
3. dump your postgres from the old machine into a dump file (consult
postgres manual)
4. restore your dump file into postgres in the new machine (consult
postgres manual)
5. update dspace.cfg for any changes in file-path, file-name, ip, url,
server names, name & password, etc.
6. update your tomcat config files as needed
7. compile and deploy dspace in the new machine.
8. re-index the dspace database
9. At this point your new dspace should be >95% ready to run. Check for
any server config that is not setup properly yet.
Hope this helps.
Allen Lam.

I asked this question previously but never received a clear and
satisfactory answer so I'll try it again.
We are currently running a dspace 1.4.2 instance on an Ubuntu machine
with tomcat 5.5, postgresql 8.3. We would like to move that instance
to a new machine also running Ubuntu, tomcat 6, postgresql 8.4. We are
not currently interested in migrating to the newer dspace version
(though we will in the future). We simply need to be able to "pick up"
our current dspace instance from one machine and put it on another
machine.
What are the steps necessary to carry out this migration from machine
to machine?
Thanks in advance for all assistance.
