Will be moving servers what files do I need to change on the new server to point db or give access?

hello, I am going to be moving servers this weekend, (from centos to rhel) I am going to copy the forum directory, along with the database for the forum. when I put these on the new server are there any files I need to change to give access, or change the location of the DB? I just want to make sure that even though the machine is changing that the forum stays functional.
