[joomla] Weird #$@!!^@! redirect happening - HEEeeLLP!!!

Hi All,
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently pulling my
hair out and not sure what to try next.
I deployed a site to www.castlepointe.com and everything was working fine.
The client wanted DOCman added to the site and there were a number of tweaks
I wanted to do so I Akeeba backuped the site, loaded the archive to my dev
server and went to work. So far so good. I made all the changes I wanted and
AB'd the dev site, uploaded the archive to my test server, www.ctsproto.com
. I can access the backend fine but when I attempt to access the front end
I'm being redirected to the original site www.castlepointe.com ???
I've checked the .htaccess file and there isn't any redirect there. I
disabled the Joomla SEF and deleted the .htaccess file, same problem. I
checked the cPanel and there aren't any redirects for the domain.
If I create an index.html in the root of ctsproto.com then the index.html
will open and no redirect.
I've looked at the source file for the redirected page and all looks normal.
I've used Live HTTP Headers and I can set the GET for ctsproto.com and a 302
redirect code but no info on what is initiating that.
I've used different browsers and a different PC and I get the same redirect.
I've checked the DNS zone record and everything is as it should be, A and C
names all pointing where they're supposed to, correct NameServers , all
looks good.
I ran tracert for ctsproto.com and it stops at the correct IP,
174.132.192.252.
It seems that there has to be something in the Joomla installation that is
initiating a redirect.
I don't know what else to try at this point and I'm hoping somebody can
point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Herb

Has anyone sued any of the auction extensions and what did they think about
them?

Thanks for the reply, Scott.

The conclusion is that in the account's php.ini, register_globals was set to
On. I'm not sure how it got turned On, because Joomla's pre- flight checks
for this to be Off and I don't go forward with an installation of Joomla
without all green. I placed a local copy of the php.ini to that directory
and changed it there. So perhaps somehow after installation, that account's
php.ini got changed. Maybe something non-Joomla got installed and required
it to be On and it got changed.

The lesson in shared hosting, is to have a php.ini in each Joomla directory.
