 * I copied my database and all WP-folders to a test area on my provider’s server.
   When I try to login as admin using the usual blogname/wp-admin URL, **it logs
   into the blog I copied from**, not into the supposed test blog. Is there some
   config file that I have to change to point to the correct site ?

 * since the home url and siteurl values (those are the values you need to adjust)
   are stored in the database you need to use a different set of tables for that
   second blog.
 * You cannot just install multiple copies like that, it doesnt work. (as youve 
   seen)
 * The stuff you need to change is inside wp-config.php

 * Yes, but I think I set it up that way, see wp-config below and of course I copied
   all folders from source to “test”, after deleting all files of “test” first:
 * TEST
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘patrizia_wrdp1’); // database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘patrizia_wrdp1’);//
   Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘***’); // …and password
 * SOURCE
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘patrizia_wrdp3’); // database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘patrizia_wrdp3’);//
   Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘j6cM4zBu225i’); // …and password

 * … except for the wp-condig file which I did NOT overwrite
