Install two shops on one site in subdomains?

[nickgorrell]

I am evaluating Magento and am finding it very confusing so have started looking elsewhere

I am trying to install two very simple shops on one site under different subdomains. I want two very separate admin setups so that they are essentially two discrete shops on the same site accessed via the subdomain URLs

Please can any one advise whether prestashop might allow me to do this?

Thanks, Nick

You can install as many stores as you have capacity on your web server in subdomains. All you need to do is create a different database for each store, and install the code under each subdomain. This is different to the multiple store functionality in Magento, where you actually have ONE admin area for all the stores.

All you're doing id treating each subdomain as a separate PrestaShop install.

cool - thanks for taking the time to respond Paul.

I'll give prestashop a trial - looks more my kinda thing than magento

This is looking good - less than one hour later and I have installed the two store structure - nice, I think that I am converted

This looks good for what I am trying to achieve, just working through setting up some simple catalogue items - do you know how to load an image (or images) against a product. Also what are the recommended image sizes for the various parts of the system?

Thanks

or you can copy the original content of your shop to the subdomain, and you have 2 or more same shops on diferent domains.

this works for me on aprox. 15 domains.

only thing is that you must copy img folder (skip already there images) of the original shop each time you modify a product image or add a new one.
