Wrong redirection to old site after Magento's duplication

I’ve got this problem: Magento redirection problem after moving

I changed local xml, deleted cache, changed secure and unsecure link, everything… It doesnt’ work. The only difference is that I duplicated my installation on the same server and I changed subdirectory’s name for the second installation. But I tried also on another server and is almost the same, except for the fact that it keeps linking me back to Google, and not to old domain.

I noticed that if, on the other server, I don’t change subdirectory’s name everything works (and I don’t understand why) but I want on the same server 2 identical installation with 2 identical databases. How can I? What’s the problem? How can I avoid this wrong redirect?

I have encountered this when moving, and it ended up being that my .htaccess file still had an old rewrite rule pointing to the old domain. In case someone else has this issue for which the other suggestions to not apply, look for something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.localhost\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.localhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]

and make sure obviously that the localhost.com matches your domain (the above simply redirects with a 301 permanent redirect rewrite any request that does not begin with www.localhost.com to http://www.localhost.com/ (such as the non-www localhost.com)

There is no reindex required for base_url to be taken in account. Only cleaning cache is required. Are you sure you did it well ? What cache system are you using ?

What did you changed in your local.xml for this ? Are you sure you didn't left old information in a local.bak.xml for example ? Magento reads every xml file in /app/etc

Magento relies heavily on caching. I've noticed in the past I've had to clear my browser internet cache before the redirects updated.

Also if you cloned/duplicated the code & database, its likely you will have the old URL's in the rewrite module. Have you tried reloading all the indexes after moving and changing the URL's in the magento configuration?

Worst case you may have to change the URL in the core_config_data table in the database.
