Raphaël Malié Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hello, you have to create your 2 shops in the "shop" tab, then you create 2 urls in "shop url" tab and you link the good URL to the good shop when you create it (the url).

Martin C Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Okay that is clear but what is very confusing what do you have to do at the domain webspace? Do you have to make a foward?

vasekcekal Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 and how about multi store? Can I have one main store with links on its index to next stores, but on same domain? For example: main store: www.domain.com next store: www.domain.com/children next store: www.domain.com/pets next store: www.domain.com/clothes and all 4 stores with 1 BO, is it possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccabooks Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What is the limit on how many stores can we create in Prestashop 1.5 cart before the cart start running slow.. I have 17 domains, I want to sell same products on all domains my questions are Should I use one prestashop installation and create 17 shops (do I need to get VPS to make sure I get speed and stability) Will it create problems with SEO's if I am using same products and SEO info for all the stores?

prestamax Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am just exploring the multishop feature. I added a second shop which worked like a charm.

Raphaël Malié Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hello, @Martin : of course you can ! But you will need the Apache Rewrite module for that (this module is very usual and most of host have it) @meccabooks : you should try a bit the multistore feature, to see if you like it. You can test it with the beta Anyway it is always faster to have 17 shop on different instance than 17 shop on same instance, but you wont take benefit of all multistore advantage @prestamax : when you have multiple stores, you can select on which store your product will be available in the product page Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w3bsolutions Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have an important question concerning multistores and store admins. I created a few products and assigned some of them to one store and others to another store. Then I created a salesman account for one particular shop. When I login to the backend with that account I can still see all the products, even the ones that are not assiged to my shop. How come? To me this doesnt make sense, It would make sense that i would only see the products assigned to my shop. Furthermore, on the common products I shouldnt see the discounts for the stores that I am not running, which i am now able to see. I am very extremely interested in the multishop feature but I would really need this to work as I mentioned, since I want to have different managers for every shop and I dont want them to see the special prices on the other shops or products that are not assigned to my shop by an "Administrator". Please answer a.s.a.p. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many products do you have? How many languages do you plan to have per site? I would say from my own benchmarks with v1.5 there exist's the following formula PrestaShop works great (without additional effort e.g. in memory tables, sharding, horizontal scaling) PrestaShop1.5 multisiteperformance calculation formula: Best performance is reached when (Number of Products) x (Number of Sites) x(Number of Languages) < 500 000 Otherwise you'd need to start with inmemory tables, replication, sharding, caching (which is always good even from the beginning) and I do like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazapko Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 MultiStore work that you have ONE Prestashop system installed on a server but you cant offer more than one online shop. For example: You can offer carnival clothes and your shop is called... CARNIVALSHOP (www.carnivalshop.com) If you have an extensive variety of carnival accessories in your shop you can make a second shop with her own theme and url for offer some products of your first shop. CARNIVALACCESORIES (www.carnivalaccesories.com), that If you enter you can see some products of your first shop.

Mattz Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nope, it doesn't work. I get an endless loop on my shop2 now. When I set shop2 on not the mainURL it just redirects to / This is what my rewrite rules look like when both are on Main URL: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shop.com$ RewriteRule ^shop2/?$ /shop2/index.php [L,R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shop.com$ RewriteRule ^shop2/(.*) /$1 [L] OK, it works. But guys, I really would suggest to make an option "Generate .htaccess file" This also for a permission check and the robots.txt. This makes it much more easier for a lot of people I think that really don't understand the issue. What was wrong btw with the .htacces ? Or was it the code that was not ieal for the .htaccess ?

An-tonio Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hi, first off all thank for your great work, this is the first time I'm going to try prestahop and it seem a great product. I have come to prestashop looking for a solution for multistores... but reading this post I have some questions. I have planing to implement free shops for a big association with more than 10000 business. I want each one have his own shop so I was thinking in multishop feature for easy administration, upgrades, etc... with "employers" with right permissions for each own shop but the problem I see, has I read here could be performance... and the select in the top with 10000 shop in de main shop backend could be inoperative. How can scale prestashop 1.5 with a good server architecture ?, any suggestion ? I see I can easily reach the 500000 limit read in this post. Another solution could be duplicate each simple installation for each business with is own database... symlinks files, etc... but can be terrible for administration...

tonyfx Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Okay that is clear but what is very confusing what do you have to do at the domain webspace? Do you have to make a foward? Domain.com Full installation of multistore Prestashop Domain.de What do you install here?? Raphael, this question by Martin was overlooked.

Martin C Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Raphael, this question by Martin was overlooked.Tony You have to add an "addon domain" to your main hosting domain and point your "add on domain" to the same location as your main domain in this way prestashop will pick up your request and forward them to the right multishop which you have to add in prestashop.I did this last week with my test domain www.domain1.nl and "add on domain" www.domain2.nl Edited September 4, 2013 by Martin C (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I assume 'NO')(2) adjust the .htaccess file located in the root of the sub-domain? (Also, I assume 'NO')(3) adjust A records for the sub domain? (Also I assume 'NO')(4) adjust the "domain name", in the definition of the sub domain shop form in the Back Office? (surely also a 'NO')(5) a domain redirect? (likely also a 'NO')or(6) another form of sub domain pointing not list above?Unfornuately, we use the phrase "point a domain at xyz" in too many different situations....Which way did you do that for your two domains?Thanks, Martin.

spuhg5 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Will the product import function import one import file to each multi shop separately, or will one import file be able to import products to all multi shops using a "store" column? Also, will pdf print print out orders for each multistore separately? Thanks Edited May 12, 2012 by spuhg5 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmon Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Me too. When setting up an additional multistore, it's url gives a 404 not found error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin C Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) It is told earlier in this thread you must point your apache of your second domain to the same directory of your primary domain: To achieve this you have to edit your httpd.conf file.

harmon Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 It is actually a subdirectory of the same domain. So, in this case, what should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGren Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hello guys! I have successfully added four shops with different URLs and everything works beautifully. Then I try to add a fifth and I get a 500 server error. Is this due to a memory problem on my server or is there a limit on how many shops you can create?

harmon Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have successfully added four shops with different URLs and everything works beautifully.

DrGren Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 How did you set up the: shop urls -> add new settings for setting up a multi-store on a subdirectory? With third level domains: shop 1 -> shop1.mydomain.com shop 2 -> shop2.mydomain.com shop 3 -> shop3.mydomain.com shop 4 -> shop4.mydomain.com I cannot add shop5. If I delete one of the four shops/domains I created however, then I can add the new shop. I guess I could try adding it directly in the database, but I would rather avoid it if possible.

harmon Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Not being able to add a fifth subdomain seems like a bug. I would like to add subdirectories. How would adding subdirectories be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirkiu Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have the next problem and I don't know how to solve It. When I add a new shop, in "virtual url" field It says that mod_rewrite seems not to be activated in my server, but I spoke to my host server and they confirm to me that It is actived, and they tell me that I have to change the code of .htaccess reading this http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/899/how-do-i-use-modrewrite but I view in my htaccess that says the code is created automaticatly "# ~~start~~ Do not remove this comment, Prestashop will keep automatically the code outside this comment when .htaccess will be generated again # .htaccess automaticaly generated by PrestaShop e-commerce open-source solution" So I don't know what to do, could someone to help me. My store is: www.centralpedidos.com/herbalife Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualityangel Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Well i just added an domain pointer to my main domain, and now the second store is pointing to my main domain, but prestashop picks it not up correctly, it sends me to the main shop url and not to www.shopurl/shop2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mko-nl Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello, I am also experiencing some problems with a multi domain, multi shop setup. Currently we are running 6 prestashop instances on one apache server with virtual hosting, SSL is being handled with an SSL certificate with a different SAN for eacht prestashop instance. Wat needs to be done to run a multi shop setup with multiple domains on this single apache server? Should I redirect each virtual host to the main url and do I need to do additional settings? And for people experiencing 404 errors, please make sure the htdocs directory permissions are correct. When I received the 404 errors it was because of a "Allow override none" statement which was defined for my htdocs directory in Apache's httpd.conf file. Defining "allow override none" causes apache to ignore any .htaccess file's so the rewrite rule created by prestashop is not applied. You could try: "Allow override any" instead of none.

menegali Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hello, I have a question: With the multistore feature, can I create several store in subdomain from a main store and then make the cart cross? In other words, I want to sell in the subdomains and the main with one cart only. The user can select product from any shop and make only one checkout. Is that possible with multistore? Thanks, Willian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuramado Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hello everyone I am creating a store with Prestashop. I need help: Yesterday I tried in the backoffice of my store (in Advance Paramètres-multistore) create a group of stores, each with its own language and to try to create the 1st, giving a url, I lost access to the store, I now a have a url that does not work: http://myshop.comen/page-not-found. In short: I lost accessing the url and the backoffice of PrestaShop. As I keep going into cpanel , my question is: How can I remove this redirection and return to the backoffice and access frontoffice? Will I have to remove or change some file or rename a folder somewhere? Or I have to delete / change data in multiple files? I tried removing the bad redirects in public_html / .htaccess, but still not working with url someone can give me a hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuskoz Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I have an important question concerning multistores and store admins. I created a few products and assigned some of them to one store and others to another store. Then I created a salesman account for one particular shop. When I login to the backend with that account I can still see all the products, even the ones that are not assiged to my shop. How come? To me this doesnt make sense, It would make sense that i would only see the products assigned to my shop. Furthermore, on the common products I shouldnt see the discounts for the stores that I am not running, which i am now able to see. I am very extremely interested in the multishop feature but I would really need this to work as I mentioned, since I want to have different managers for every shop and I dont want them to see the special prices on the other shops or products that are not assigned to my shop by an "Administrator". Please answer a.s.a.p. TIA Dear Friend, did you find any solution for this? I have the same problem and trying hard to find an answer on the forum but without success till now. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
