Ok I read it again and yea it's just creating an adserver_new directory to keep the old as a backup, and then copying the config file, and to create a new database and import the old data... I also tried this as well, but couldn't get it to work on the new server. Was having login issues.
Ended up deciding to just do a fresh install of adserver and reconfigure the ads. Took less time than trying to debug what the issues was, and everything is up to date and running better on the new server.
