This *should* work.  I've done this numerous times.  Sometimes I run  
into problems just copying the mysql files and have since started just  
doing dumps of the databases using mysqldump.

You'll also want to go over your config files to make sure that there  
are no changes in things like server names and the like.

You'll also want to make sure that if you are using a file based VFS  
to copy over the VFS directory as well...and of course, I guess it  
goes without saying (but it looks like I'm saying it anyway), that you  
need to ensure that all the pear packages are installed and up to date  
as well...

I remember there was a discussion on the one of the lists (dev?) a  
while ago about this very topic that might have some more pointers for  
you.  Sorry, I don't have a link handy at the moment.

Thanks,
mike
