1. backup you rexisting installation: check conf/locale.php where your savedir is pointing, also backup this directory (may be outside of web root /var/www !)
tar fcvz dokuwiki_backup_DATE.tar.gz /var/www/dokuwiki-installation/
2. transfer to new server using rsync ( i recommend using screen if it is a very large installation… screen will continue running rsync even when your ssh session times out or ssh exits )
3. get latest dokuwiki and simply extract it over your existing installation
https://www.dokuwiki.org/
http://www.splitbrain.org/go/dokuwiki
copy the link to your linux-server-shell:
wget http://www.splitbrain.org/_media/projects/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-2012-10-13.tgz
4. i had to change the following files:
vim conf/local.php
delted this line:
$conf['savedir'] = '/home/user/dokuwiki/data/';
5.
vim inc/preload.php
and updated
define('DOKU_CONF','/var/www/dokuwikinew/conf/');
