Joachim Torngren Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) New to Prestashop (moving over some stuff from Opencart) if I can get PS to work .... This is my 3rd reinstall of PS since my two prior ones have behaved very strangely. So now I will try to do everything "by the book". So one of the main questions is how to set up PS in Cpanel and BO for multistore. I have searched and searched but haven't found a good description. Background: - I'm on a hosted linux/apache server - Physical location of installation is /public_html/shopX - 1 PS installation 1.6.0.9 with 1 database - URL Rewriting is active on server What I want: - Default shop: www.example.com/shopX - Shop 1: www.cottonyoga.dk - Shop 2: www.cottonyoga.eu - Shop 3: www.cottonyoga.com etc Question 1: So what should my settings be in BO for default shop, shop 1 etc? Domain Physical URL Virtual URL Question 2: What should my settings be in Cpanel, and what function should I use (addon domains, parked domains or redirects) for default shop, shop 1 etc? Thank you in advance for any reply or hints! Edited September 26, 2014 by Joachim Torngren (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Torngren Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Ok after some testing this seems to work for me: First of all there seems to be a difference if you have your Prestashop in the root directory or in a subfolder on your server: A. Installed in root (public_html) directory: Use cPanel Parked domains function B. Installed in subfolder (public_html/shopX) directory: Use cPanel Addon domains function INSTRUCTION FOR B. SUBFOLDER SETUP: Prestashop installation located at public_html/shopX Step 1: Prestashop Backoffice (advanced parameters/multistore) Default shop: Domain: www.example.com Physical URL: /shopX/ Virtual URL: [nothing] Shop 1: Domain: www.cottonyoga.com Physical URL: / Virtual URL: [nothing] Step 2: cPanel (addon domains) Default shop: [No need to do anything] Shop 1: New Domain Name: cottonyoga.com Subdomain/FTP Username: [could be whatever you want] Document Root: public_html/shopX After cPanel addon domain cPanel will automatically create a redirect to [%{ENV:REWRITEBASE}index.php] from the .htaccess file created by Prestashop Also there will be a lot of redirects (under CPanel-redirects) from the -htaccess file Since I'm a Prestashop newbie could someone more experienced please verify that this has been done correctly? Then I place this as [sOLVED] Edited October 14, 2014 by Joachim Torngren (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyweb Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi Joachim, Thanks for this report. I'm trying to set up a same kind of construction as you, but for me it's not working. I'm using also Cpanel. The only difference is that i don't have my main store in the root. What I have: Main shop: www.example.com Shop 2: www.example2.com Default shop: Domain: www.example.com Physical URL: Virtual URL: [nothing] Shop 1: Domain: www.example2.com Physical URL: / Virtual URL: [nothing] According to you parking the domain would be enough. I did this but it doesn't work. So i tried the add on. Also no success. I added on the domain and the changed the path of document root to the main store, but the link gets redirected to the main store. Do you have any ID, what i'm doing wrong or what I can do to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Torngren Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I'm not completely sure if you have your Prestashop installation in the root (/public_html) or in a directory/folder (/public_html/example)? If root - use cPanel Parked Domains If directory/folder - use cPanel Addon Domains Please reply and I try to assist thereafter Edited October 14, 2014 by Joachim Torngren (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
