I have a problem with my magento site. I changed the secure and unsecure base url in the core_config_data table to a new value and when I go to the site the new value is not used. Its like its not even paying attention to what the database says.
I cleared the cache too. Any ideas?

Another solution is to rename /app/etc/local.xml to /app/etc/local.xml.old and restart the installation process.
My problem was that I typed the wrong base url for javascript (forgot to add the /js/ at the end), so javascript did not work on the frontend or backend. After changing the base js url and clearing the cache, still no js. Only after renaming local.xml and going through the installation process did the correct js url (with the /js/) kick in.
