Copy the files using cp -a. The -a part is important.

Copy the database using mysqldump.
Adjust the base and WP url in the dump before loading.

Set the config.php to point to the the new database. Also in config.php change any fully qualified paths to relative.

Done.

If you are using unfortunate enough to be using Plesk, change the file ownership with find . -uid olduser -exec chown newuser {} \;
