Cannot make multistore work

[monkeybus]

Folks, I need your help.

 

I have Prestashop 1.6.1.11, all installed, no problem.  I am familiar with the back office.

 

I have shared hosting that I access via cPanel.  I have numerous addon domains in the same account.

 

My Prestashop store is located in public_html/ps  OK?  So let's say my main domain is foo.com that's the one with  public_html/ps

 

And, let's say I have an addon domain, boo.com  That is located at public_html/boo  That one has no Prestashop.

 

These addon domains are also subdomains, i.e. boo.foo.com

 

So, I can create a new store, it accepts the domain www.boo.com, the physical URL /ps/ then it displays the final URL http://www.boo.com/ps/

 

Click save, all OK,but then the new store doesn't exist.  I'm plainly doing something wrong, but what?

 

Help, I have to get this site online ASAP.

 

Thanks a lot, folks.

All of the stores in the multi-store instance have to share the same document root.

 

foo.com => /public_html/ps

boo.com => /public_html/ps

 

Alternatively, you can create the other domains (ie.. boo.com) as a domain alias (not sure what cpanel calls that).  However the disadvantage of this is usually not being able to configure a dedicated IP address or an SSL cert.

Thanks for the answer, I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around it.

 

If foo.com is my default store, what info should I input for boo.com?

 

foo is www.foo.com/ps I'm sure of that much.

 

Then I start getting confused.
