Default transfering an SSL certificate to new server

Our old server, a RedHat ES2 with Apache 1.3.27 was compromised and
we're migrating to a new box with RH ES4 and Apache 2.0.52.

It's a safe assumption that I can't just copy over the ssl.crt/ and
ssl.key/ files from one to the other machine, right?
(Actually, I tried it already. And yeah, it gives the same default info
when you view the cert threw the browser.)

I have an O'Reilly book on Apache that explains how to create a new
cert setup, but I was wondering if there's any way to nice and easily
transfer the key from one server to the other?

If there's a RTFM directive on transfering, please let me know what FM
I need to read and I will gladly do so! =)

Thanks for any feedback
Liam
