It is quite simple: the running moin code must have rw access to
data_dir, also to data_underlay_dir. It needs to be able to at least
read all code and configuration files.

Usually I just chown -R x data/ underlay/ with x being the user used for
running moin (e.g. "moin" or "www-data" or whatever). Then chmod -R u
+rwX data/ underlay/.

You just copy the data/ dir to the new machine, make it read-write for
the user running the mig scripts. Follow the docs and howtos on the
wiki.

Cheers,
