If you’re using Capistrano, just update the deploy.rb settings.

Hi thanks for your response…  
no I am not. but I notes everything is the same…  
so I was wondering can I just copy the whole content and change the  
config/ files and the db settings to point to my new db as well?

thanks.

Yes you can. Just remember to copy over your database contents as well  
though.
