Hi
I assume that you already have your database and webserver software set up and running on your 2003 machine.
First of all copy your database to the new server.
Assuming that you are using mysql for your database:-
On the XP machine Export your mantis database to a flat file.
On the 2003 machine Import the flat file into a new database.
Set up the userid you are using for mantis with the same permissions the same as on the XP machine.
Copy all the contents of your mantis directory (and subdirectories) from the XP machine to the 2003 machine so that the web server will be able to access them.
Check your file access permissions are correct for your web server.
Alter any machine specific settings in config_inc.php
Depending on your configuration you may need to restart your webserver to see mantis.
Once it is working on the 2003 machine disable access to mantis on the XP machine so that there is no confusion over what system is in use.
