multistore setup [SOLVED] How to create multi stores in subdomains when Prestashop is also installed in subdomain?

[Ali Samie]

[SOLVED]

What do I have?

• A website: domain.com
• Prestashop installed in: prestashop.domain.com
• Multistore is enabled

What do I want?

• Multiple shops in subdomains like:
  • someshop.domain.com
  • anothershop.domain.com

What did I do before asking?

• Check and followed: Prestashop Docs for PS17: Setting a shop's URL
• Created multiple shop in prestashop.domain.com like:
  • someshop.domain.com
  • anothershop.domain.com
• This is the setting for someshop.domain.com :
  • 

What is the problem?

• someshop.domain.com does not show anything and it does not work

------------------------------

UPDATE: SOLVED

Special thanks to @Prestachamps ❤️

What is the technical issue?

• Web server does not know that where is someshop.domain.com and you need to tell your web server to point to specific route

How to solve this generally?

• You should find out how to set up subdomains in your web server.
• Then create a subdomain for each shop that belongs to multi stores list like:
  • someshop.domain.com
• Point the subdomain to Prestashop instance route. This means:
  • someshop.domain.com will always load prestashop.domain.com
  • But it does NOT redirect to prestashop.domain.com (This is key point)
• This pointing is meant to work like rewriting, NOT redirecting. Otherwise it does not work.

How to solve this in cPanel?

• Create a subdomain of someshop
• set Document Root to prestashop.domain.com

Hi @stifler97

you should solve it by doing the following:

when creating the subdomains someshop.domain.com & anothershop.domain.com , point them to the physical path of  prestashop.domain.com

after this, when you will add these  URLs to the multistore configuration or Prestashop, they should work.

I hope that I could help.
Have a nice day, Leo.
