migrating svn / media wiki

server is having memory problems, so I am migrating services off of it. 

Moving svn to its own machine.
1. stop apache from serving it
2. dump it
3. copy the dump
4. create the new repos
5. load the dump
6. setup apache
  a. install modules and get config files migrated


At this point I would need to work on ssl certificates, but since server is one
of the few machines that can be accessed from the outside, and it could get messy.  So the current plan is to try to repair server, and if it fails to migrate svn, to the backup and rename the backup.  It is basically ready to go.

The mediawiki transfer to www went well, followed their instructions and with only minor problems it transferred.
