Not that I’m aware of, this is still the only way to do a multi-store setup.
You're replying to a comment left by Kal_El that was posted on February 19, 2010…
I have followed instructions to a ‘T’, yet no matter what I do the index file can not see Mage.php
basically i have set it up using the ‘Subdirectory Method’ which is “../public_html/store/euro/”
the mage file is located “../public_html/store/app/Mage.php yet when i redirect the index.php file (within the euro subdirectory) it says “../public_html/store/app/Mage.php was not found”
the address is definately correct….
basically im trying to build a new store for each currency - using the same products, the currency is the only change.
I have tried editing the .HTaccess file with no luck…
You're replying to a comment left by Kyle that was posted on February 19, 2010…
Try using this line of code instead:
Mage::run('shoes');Let me know if that works for you.
You're replying to a comment left by Kyle that was posted on February 19, 2010…
These instructions will still work for the latest version, I would suggest trying absolute paths instead of relative ones, and making sure in the index.php file that you adjust all the locations where it’s calling for a script accordingly.
You're replying to a comment left by Tony Connery that was posted on February 21, 2010…
This is the best guide i have found on how to get this up and running. And i am nearly there
Just struggling a bit with the last part
I followed the instructions to the letter, the only change i had to make was
$mageFilename = '../public_html/app/Mage.php';When i set up the add-on domain i put it in public_html/secondwebsite.com so i changed it to:
$mageFilename = '../app/Mage.php';And it pointed accross ok.
The functionality worked fine, but the website was unstyled, the only final part i need to do is the symlinks which i am struggling with
Is there anyway to do these symlinks with htaccess.
The server blocks the php symlink function so i cannot use that,
I am struggling with setting up SSH and connecting in to run the right functions,
I found on the internet to try doing it through cron. so i tried this
I have tried every combination i can think of (replacing the home/username with the right settings)
1) ln -s /home/username/public_html/js/ ./js
2) ln -s /home/username/js/ ./js
ln -s /home/username/public_html/js/ /home/username/public_html/secondwebsite.com/jsI am also not sure whether i should have been randomly trying one option after the other… hope that will have no bad effects .....
Because of the deviation from the tutorial, i am not sure i am on the right track anymore. Some help to get me back on track would be very appreciated
Thanks
You're replying to a comment left by Zac that was posted on February 22, 2010…
I may be having a similar issue to Tony. It seems that no matter what combination I use for paths in the symlinks, it consistently tells me that there was an unexpected ‘.’
I always change the first couple when i make a change, and yet the error always happens on the same line, which is the first line of the symlinks.

Hello,
I tried the subdirectory method and I get a 404 error when I am trying the new store (the first store is still working).
Any ideas ?
By the way the doc say :
replace in index.php $mageFilename = ‘app/Mage.php’; by
$mageFilename = ‘../public_html/app/Mage.php’;Shouldn’t it be $mageFilename = ‘../app/Mage.php’;
since index.php is already in public_html directory ?Thanks

Hello. I am using Magento version 1.4.0.1. I am able to access a second Website in a subdirectory after changing the following code in the copied over index.php:
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : 'my_code'; $mageRunType = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE'] : 'website';but none of my js or css files are loading. How can I set the paths for those? The instruction for adding the symbolic links is vague above for someone who has never done so before. Where do I add the symbolic link code?
You're replying to a comment left by andrew that was posted on March 23, 2010…
Really quick follow up. My js and css load fine now but I had to update the paths in System > Configuration > Web for each subdirectory store. I had to type out the full paths to my skin, media, and js folders rather than use the variables, e.g. {{unsecure_base_url}}. Though I would like to use the variables.
Everything works fine now. I did not add anything to my .htaccess to achieve this.

You're replying to a comment left by mike that was posted on March 26, 2010…
Version 1.4- I’m using 1 SSL on my main website. I set my other 3 websites to use the main domain as the SSL for my cart. I created the 3 url’s as add on domains in my Cpanel with folders outside my root.
I believe I have everything set up right because I can go to the 3 websites and the domain names stays in the browser. I’m able to add items to my cart fine.
My PROBLEM…. if I click ‘Proceed to Checkout’ it takes me to the main website with my SSL on it but the url doesn’t change to the https. The other issue is that it tells me that my cart is empty. I then go back to my website that I had a item in my cart and the item is in the cart. I confirm with the 3 websites, under the web section of config, that my secure website was set to my main site.
I believe this is a simple fix (setting) so can someone please help me out. I’m thinking this is a 1.4 issue but I can’t find any other articles.

You create those links via SSH. Ask your hosting provider if your package has access to that.

You're replying to a comment left by Mike that was posted on March 27, 2010…
Sorry, that is my question. I thought that all the folder structure was using the Root folder. I guess I don’t understand what a symbolic link is doing in Magento.
Beginner here… wasn’t questioning your knowledge. Just didn’t want to create extra work.
You're replying to a comment left by Required that was posted on March 27, 2010…
np.
Just try to create the symbolic links and see what it can do. I could describe it, but you learn a lot more by doing it yourself and see the results. Also check out the folder structure after creating those links. Use “rm [linkname]” to remove the links afterwards.

I have the main website installed in the firstdomain.ext root.

Have I to install another magento? if yes, where ?

Have you set up multiple stores under one website or multiple websites? I was able to achieve this by specifying ‘store’ in the below code instead of ‘website’ for $mageRunType and placing the store view code instead of website code for $mageRunCode:
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’]) ? $_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’] : ‘my_code’;
$mageRunType = isset($_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’]) ? $_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’] : ‘store’;I was still able to set each of my stores in separate sub-directories. All are using same cart. Hope this is helpful. I apologize if this is info you already know.
You're replying to a comment left by Daniel that was posted on May 16, 2010…
andrew, I have separate Url’s for each site, however all the sites are using the main websites ‘root documents’.
I wonder if this would still work in my case? Also, you have in your first line, ‘my_code’; Is that really what you have listed there? And what does the my_code refer to? New to this so please forgive my ignorance.
Maybe I should set them up under one website, then have separate stores, but use different url’s?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/homeofbe/ibm/index.php on line 70
Line 70 relates to the 1st line of the symbolic links of which mine looks like:

The symbolic links are set via SSH. This code is not to be placed in the index.php file.
You're replying to a comment left by andrew that was posted on May 20, 2010…
Sorry for late reply, you have probably figured out your issue. ‘my_code’ refers to the code I entered for my Store View. Since I labeled my Store name as Boats and my Store View name as ‘English’ the actual code I placed for Store View is ‘en_boats’. I simply placed my_code in for an example.

I am still stuck on trying to share the cart between stores.
I have a main site and parked domains. I am able to set up the multi-store just fine, but the websites are not sharing the cart.
I have tried every setup possible in the config>stores> area.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
You're replying to a comment left by andrew that was posted on May 20, 2010…
You are probably setting up multiple ‘Websites’ and not multiple ‘Stores’ in magento. From above example: Instead of Mage::run(‘hats’, ‘website’) you would have Mage::run(‘hats’, ‘store’).
‘store’ being the code type and ‘hats’ (in this examples case) being the ‘Store View’ code.
And in magento setup you would create one main website that has different stores under it.
Not sure if this helps. I was unable to have multiple Websites that shared the same cart. There may be a way but this worked for me.
You're replying to a comment left by Daniel that was posted on May 20, 2010…
Andrew
But this will work with parked domains as well? Do you have an IM that I can talk to you? Thanks for your help
You're replying to a comment left by andrew that was posted on May 20, 2010…
I cannot really advise regarding parked domains. I have not set stores up using that method. I would suppose that you can use the same code as provided here but change your code type from ‘website’ to ‘store’ and use corresponding Store View code instead of website code created in Magento admin. Making sure that all stores are under same Website. I think you will just have to try it and see. Sorry if I lead you astray. But this seems logical to me.

SSH is a protocol, like FTP. You’ll need an SSH client to connect to your site (just like you would need an FTP client to connect via FTP). You can download one here:

As far as I can see everything is set up the same as the other site but when you try to use any of the links in the third site you get an Internal Server Error… ???
The template change is correct and and the info change for the most part is correct but I don’t know what is causing the error. any insight on what I may have done wrong?

@WebBloomer
I presume you are using Magento 1.4, the index.php code should look like this:
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’]) ? $_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’] : ‘->ENTER_THE_CODE_HERE<-’;
$mageRunType = isset($_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’]) ? $_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’] : ‘store’;

Hi,
I have a Magento site and its traffic is high. http://www.accounts-merchant.com/Lately, the site has been becoming slow approximately once a day. About a month ago, it used to become slow about one time every 3 weeks.
As soon as I restart the Apache web server, the site becomes fast again.
Do you think that this is a bandwidth issue? If I increase the bandwidth on my server, will I solve this problem?

Hi..
Trying to set up multi sites and keep getting stuck.I’m trying to set up…
Main Store: http://www.YourEcoWorld.com
Site 1: http://www.YourAloeStore.co.uk
Site 2: http://www.EcoToyStore.co.ukI’ve completed all the set up in Admin and was now trying to get the domains to point appropriately
I’ve added the following to index.php after ....
: ‘store’; and before… Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);switch ($_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]) {
case “www.yourecoworld.com”:
$_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’] = “base”;
$_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’] = “website”;
break;
case “www.youraloestore.co.uk”:
$_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’] = “aloe”;
$_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’] = “website”;
break;
case “www.yourecotoystore.co.uk”:
$_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_CODE’] = “ecotoys”;
$_SERVER[‘MAGE_RUN_TYPE’] = “website”;
break;
//etc
}But it just doesn’t seem to recognise it. I’ve also tried ‘store’ instead of website
Starting to get a little frustrated with it having tried to sort this out all day….

You're replying to a comment left by Lawrence that was posted on January 17, 2011…
Thanks for the post, Kyle. It is very informative and gave me a much better understanding of setting up multi-stores in Magento.
For those having problems with the additional stores not displaying the skin, chances are that the symbolic links are not working so Magento is not able to access the linked folder. One way to check is after creating the links using Kyle’s instructions above, change directory to each of the symbolic links created using a cd command. If you get an error then the symbolic link is not working. If it works you should be able to list the files and folders in the linked folder.
Note also that with v1.4, the 404 and the report folders are no longer at the Magento root. 404 is now under the errors folder and the report is under the var folder. v1.4 also has a lib folder at the root. I’m not sure whether it’s required but I created the symlinks anyway so that the folder structure reflects that of the original Magento root.
It’s also worth using absolute paths for the symlinks as Kyle suggested above. It certainly helped in my config.
Hope the above helps.

Great tutorial but for 1.4+ users, things have changed a little and you no longer need to edit the index.php. The following describes this:

PHYSICAL subdirectories??? Sorry to be dense, but can someone explain this for me please?.......
I’m wanting to set up multiple stores on subdirectories, and I think I understand the method. However, In Kyle’s blog post above it details creating actual physical subdirectories, which was what I was going to do.
But then, this seems to to conflict with Crucial Hosting’s other comment (no.13) at:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/comments/multi-store-retailing-magento-demo/
Here, it is suggested that NO physical subdirectories are actually created but that they are “mimicked” by “setting Add Store Code to Urls to Yes in the Url Options section [and] Set the Secure and Unsecure URLs back to default.”What is the difference? Can anyone give any guidance here please?
Many thanks

Tested it today on 1.5.0.1 and this methodology is still valid.

Andrew, you dont have to replace paths for all sub directory store, you can just place the absolute url in the main store and for subs, just check Use Website and only the Base URL should be updated.
Just make sure your cookie path for Main store also points to your main store URL

Thanks for the clarification and the structure. We are currently thinking about setting up multiple Magento stores for our 2 web projects and will test the subdomain method for it. I think the tutorial will help us with some clarifications.

Its the same as this -> Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
$mageRunCode is a variable
$mageRunType is a variableIn the line above, $mageRunCode is assigned.
Place your store code inbetween ’ ‘.then assign $mageRunType to ‘store’ or ‘website’

Issue 1: double check your system>>configuration, secure url has HTTPS
Issue 2: Not So Simple
Cart content sharing only works at the store level.
Website1: Store1, Store2, Store3, will all share cart contents.Cart content sharing does not work across websites.
Website1: separate checkout
Website2: separate checkoutLook at Gap.com closely. All the TLD stores are redirected to subdomains of gap.com.
The stores are able to share the cart content because its all under the Gap.com domain. It has a few other things going on so that each store can have its branded checkout (separate IP).

@Jerome Nicholas
Yes, I am having the same problem, don’t have SSH access, so I have used symlink() of php which works perfectly.
