It all depends on your current setup.

Do you use Mongrel+Apache, LiteHTTPD or Webrick? If you use Apache as  
a proxy to your application server then you will need to copy any  
Apache virtual domain configuration files  (or mongrel cluster files)  
and tinker with them to work on your new host.

Are you using SQLite or a database server like MySQL/postgres? If you  
don''t use SQLite you will need to dump the database to a file an load  
it into the new database on the new host.

Clear anything in the rails_app/tmp directory.

I''ve never used Apache on XP but it should be a simple case of  
copying configuration files for apache over to the new host, and  
restarting the server.

Create a db with the same name then on the new host and then use  
''mysqldump'' to dump from the old host and load it into the new
one.

Where does your app fail on the new host exactly? Do you have any  
errors in the logs?
