[Typo3] Copy a Typo3 installation - Is it possible?

[Alexander Heidl]

Why bothering? I think it is far easier to just place a fresh source package
on the new server. Make a database dump and copy all relevant files across.
On the new server just create the db from the dump and run the installation
tool again. That should be it apart from the tweaking. Then check for the
installed extensions to be the same then before. Db compare in inst tool
will tell you.

Btw, what do u mean with 'the old backend appears'?

Hello people!

Is it possible to copy a typo3 installation so i don't have to configure the
new web again? I tried it but it does not work. I've done the following
steps:

- copy the web directory (not the Typo3 sources)
- copy the sql database
- edit the localconf.conf

The FE works fine and i can see the under the new directory. But if i log in
the new Backend the old BAckend appears?

I looked into the Installation and i saw that old entries still exist
(.../idp/ = the new one, .../web_template/ = the old installation):
