Problem Multi-shop front office in 1.5.3

ptspress · January 13, 2014

I’m having trouble with the multi-shop function in Prestashop 1.5.3. The main shop works fine – but the front office of the second shop doesn’t. When I call the second shop in a browser it’s the main shop that displays. If I call a preview of a product page from the second shop’s back office – I get a 404 error.

I installed PS on a shared Apache server. I have two domains set up with Plesk so that domain01.com is the main domain and domain02.com is an alias pointing to the same site root.

I activated the multi-shop function and created a second shop group then a second shop within that new group with a new name, new logo, different theme, etc.

The Shops URLs are configured as follows :

Groupe : Default

Boutique 1

URL principale activé
Domaine = domaine01.com
Domaine = domaine01.com
URI physique : /
URI virtuelle :
URL finale : domaine01.com

Groupe : Seconde

Boutique 2

URL principale activé
Domaine = domaine02.com
Domaine = domaine02.com
URI physique : /
URI virtuelle :
URL finale : domaine02.com

The backoffice displays a warning that mod_rewrite is not active on the server, although my hosting company assures me that it is. Simplified URLs are active on the site and work fine.

I guess there’s some sort of trouble with the .htacces file, not knowing exactly what I should find there, I’m including it’s contents here:
