Have you found the various versions of the web deployment procedure yet?

deploy.txt:  instructions to follow manually (seems to be up-to-date)
deploy.sh:   a shell script version to run locally (may be old)
Deploy.hs:   a haskell version to run remotely (may also be old)

Obviously those scripts are tailored to the official installation, but  
there are some clues in there, for instance the steps

     cabal configure --datadir=/srv/web/haskell.org/hoogle/ -- 
datasubdir=datadir -O2

and

     Upload datadir/resources to /srv/web/haskell.org/hoogle/datadir/ 
resources
     Upload datadir/databases/* to /srv/web/haskell.org/hoogle/datadir/ 
databases
