To create test site for copy of live store,
-
Copy all files (except some media files)
-
Dump and Import database
-
Clear all cache (rm -rf newdomain/www/var/*)
-
Update base url
UPDATE core_config_data SET value="http://newdomain.com" WHERE path=’web/secure/base_url’;
UPDATE core_config_data SET value="http://newdomain.com" WHERE path=’web/unsecure/base_url’;
(also checked select * from core_config_data where path like '%base_url%')
-
Update local.xml file (for connecting test db, db user, password)
-
Check root's htaccess file (I even try to delete the file)
-
Asked server support , they said it's web source problem , not server setting
I think I did everything I know and search to solve! but still when I visit my test website, it still redirect my live web site
Am I missing something? What I should check more?

I know you cleared cache by deleting files, but is it possible you have folder permission issue, and cache is going to /tmp?
What happens if you disable cache? (use n98-magerun from cli)
