That's done largely outside the server. The biggest step is actually getting the URLs to point to the correct IP address. That's a DNS thing, and is probably somewhat outside the scope of this site. To summarize, though, change the IP address for the "production" address to whatever the addy for the new server is. Then, the message is at least getting to the right doorstep, so to speak. Then, make sure that the old URL is listed as an alias in the http.conf (or whatever the control file is for whatever http server you're using).
As a matter of communicating clearly with your site visitors, I'd also suggest looking up how to 1) rewrite the old to the new one in the user's browser and 2) make sure that the site clearly advertises the change.
