Ok, in this way you must do some changes manually but it could work.

Dc compare tells me which extensions are missed?

If i type http://192.168.111.57/idp/typo3 (the new web) i will be 
forwarded to http://192.168.111.57/web_template/typo3/alt_main.php (the 
old web). Both installations use the new database.

Is there any other possibility to copy a typo3 installation or is this 
the best?

Thx a lot!
