Cool. :-)

I am not really a Linux guy. You surely need Apachae, PHP and MySQL. ;-) If you mean if you should install MediaWiki that way: I would not. In the past these packages were often broken.

I would copy the old code and database to the place, where you now need it (on the _new_ server). After that just follow Manual:Upgrading and do an upgrade "as usual" - as your situation _is_ usual.
