Magento has built in functionality to flush the cache, but what happens if you can't access the admin panel?
Having just moved a Magento shop to our servers, there was also a change in the directory from /shop to the root directory.
Every time the website was accessed, it would still redirect to /shop. There are 2 entries in the database which reference the URL and these need changing - but that wasn't enough.
The cache was kicking in and deciding that the website was still at /shop. Thankfully, clearing it is easy :)
Go to /var/cache and /var/session and delete the files and folders from within them. Then access your Magento Shop and away you go!
