You need to investigate a proper application deployment strategy. You
should not have to “move” an app from one server to another. Instead you
need a script to deploy your app to the new server.

Many developers use Capistrano to mange their Rails deployments:

Rails apps should be contained within a single folder, but there’s no
way to guess what all you need to configure on your server to make it
ready to run your Rails application. You’ve given no details on what
technologies (e.g. database server, web server, etc.) you are using to
run your app.

To understand how rails apps work, so that you can work out what you
need to do for your particular application, work right through a good
rails tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use
online).

sorry for the late reply,
Existing application is running on apache web server, database mysql.
can you please let me,
what all needs to be installed in new servers before moving the rail
applications.
*like how to know which all gems the old server is using.
*will it be problem if i install higher version of gems/ruby
*which all config files i need to modify.

And also can you point if there are any webpages which contains step by
step procedure of achieving this task.

Have you done what I originally suggested (and to which you did not
respond) which is to work through a tutorial such as
railstutorial.org, which will help you to understand the basics of
rails and answer several of the questions above.
