Is there an auto redirect based on domains, or something?

I just started working on a site for a client, and they seem to have a dev site running in IIS on their server, but it keeps redirecting to their production site. It seems to be only pages that use AbleCommerce that redirect. So, I am wondering if there is some sort of licensing check built into one of the assemblies somewhere that checks the domain it is running on or something like that, which is causing this. Or, should I be able to have a dev site set up?

The event viewer shows a null reference on the page I am trying to access right before the redirect.

Any thoughts? Again, I am 100% new to AbleCommerce, but I've been a .Net developer for many years. Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Seth

If you got a license for the domain name, then that is what could be causing it. You can set the store into demo mode and it won't happen.
In the App_Data folder, add demoMode="true" to the first line in the ablecommerce.config file. Your test orders will come in with Demo, Demo for names, but that is the only thing that will happen.

Great, Thanks. I'll try that.
