Creating/renaming a clone database

I have database #1 on a server that I want to clone/restore from a cold backup so that it becomes database #2. Database #2 wiill be on the same server as #1 but I want to rename it. Other than creating a new directory structure and recreating the controlfile with all the new info, is there anything else that I need to do? Do you have to alter anything within the database (file names/structures) or will recreating the controlfile take care of it?

I don't want to bring the database up as the old SID because the SID already exists on that server so if something does have to be altered, I am not sure how to do it in this scenario.

Thanks for your help.
