Unless you have done some local customisation by editing the perl
scripts or templates. All you need is the database itself. So a
database dump of that.

You don't want to do that :) You will cause problems. What you want to
do is import your 3.1.x database into your 3.6.4 instance, then run
koha-upgrade-schema <instancename>
then
koha-uprade-to-3.4 <instancename>

What this second one does is remove the item data from the marcxml
blob in biblioitems. This was changed in 3.4.0 hence the name, since
you are going from 3.1.x to 3.6.4 you need this to be done. It will
then start a zebra reindex. After that you will be up on 3.6.4 .. the
next thing to do would be to work through all the settings and check
they are ok (circulation rules, systempreferences etc). Get the
librarians to test.

If its all ok, do this again and call it live :)

See above :)

You will need to play with the apache config file in sites-enabled to
get the virtual host listening on the names/numbers you want it too.

Hope this helps
