RHEL 6 box has required versions of PHP (+ extensions) and MySQL. Apache up and running (ssl as well).
MySQL has a root password and can be accessed via command line in ssh shell on server.
Basically like a full site backup ...
sql dump of DB
archive of the data directory
copy of the config.php file ... which will need to be edited once in place on new server.
The code directory should be installed via git on the RHEL 6 platform.
Any plugins? Acquire those and place in appropriate directories with appropriate ownership/permissions.
Import the DB
place data directory in /var/www and set owership/permissions for the apache user/group.
via ssh go to /var/www/html/admin/cli/
Scripts there can upgrade from 2.5.3 to 2.5.5.
Things to check ... SMTP/EMail ... LDAP if using for authentication ...
