So, you want to migrate to a new machine _and_ update at the same
time? It'd probably be easier to migrate first, then update.
You should be able to dump the DB, import it, and copy over the wiki
directory. Of course, you'll need to redo whatever PHP4 and Apache
configuration stuff you had on your old machine.
Once 1.1.0 is up and running on your new machine, you can update to
1.2.4 by running the update.php script in the 1.2.4 distribution
directory.
