Hi-

As some of you might have already read, my server died and I now need  
to migrate all of my files for my app onto a new server.

Please tell me there is an easy way to do this??

I guess the app itself should run when I start the server (script/  
server), but is there an easy way to get the DB tables to match the  
current run of models and migrations that I had built on the last  
machine?

Thanks!!

you can rsync all(app, database) to your new remote server.
