I've got a requirement to migrate a web server onto a fresh server (both 32 bit and Fedora 15).  I'm using this guide as I've very little experience with linux, coming from a windows background.  So essentially the existing web server runs apache, mysql and has web apps in php and python (using django CMS).  I've tried migrating once using the list of exclude files and directories suggested in the above article but this bricked the destination server so I had to rebuild the VM.  I'm now going to have a second go at it and I'm thinking I should try and exclude as many directories as possible.  I'd appreciate some help in deciding which directories I should add to the exclude and which I should allow in order to let it copy the appropriate files across to run the web apps correctly.
What folders should I exclude / not exclude when migrating a server using rsync
