Hey,
I expect that the biggest problem could be the mySQL server, also it's
very much depending on the existing
* httpd-configuration (loaded modules)
* php-configuration
if it's modified a lot from the default config that comes with RHEL4.
RHEL comes with SELinux - make sure it works with that (maybe it's
turned on already, so it wouldn't be a problem).
Also, if you have a very customized TYPO3 that needs special config
(e.g. if you have WebDAV with TYPO3 BE User auth and mod_auth_mysql)
it's possible that it's not working a lot.
For the mysql upgrade, I'd do a backupdump of the v4 server:
# mysqldump -u DBuser -p DBname > dbname.sql
and then you could feed the DB to the upgraded table or even completely
reinstall mysql and then put the dump in like that:
# mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -u DBuser -p DBname < dbname.sql
