Hello Stefan, I'm doing the same thing and if you get any private advice, I'd be interested.
I already tried without success to move my wiki from Fedora to CentOS; I first tarred up the entire wiki file structure, and then with a fresh dump of the mysql db tried just reloading the db with the dump, but I had a problem running PHP - (installed via yum as php-mysql) - where the logs showed that the PCRE libs were not built to support UTF-8 encoding; however, a check of PCRE showed no problem. Then (it was late at night) I did a stupid thing and tried removing and reinstalling PCRE using yum. That basically took out so many system tools that I had to reload the OS, and presently (OS just reloaded today) I'll be ready to try again, perhaps with a different strategy.

What would the easiest way be to move a MediaWiki installation from one server to another? I have installed MySQL and PHP already on the new server. What I had in mind was to setup the latest MediaWiki installation on the new server, export all the pages and import them on the new server. Is there an easier way?
