These are the originals.

Full action list of what I actually did.

1. Built the site I wanted.
2. Built second site.
3. Renamed second site's files folder
4. Made another folder with the same name as the original name of the second site.
5. Copied the first site in to the second site
6. Copied both of the config files from the renamed second site and put them in to the new second site
Does that make sense to you?

[adb34]

A bit more info;-

1st site - fonts.adb34.co.uk
2nd site - ebooks.adb34.co.uk

So the process above looks correct, but the question is if that was successfully performed/current state.

With the additional information the next question relates to how the redirects are performed and what the .htaccess in each directory/parent directory is..

Interested in the root of the store and above only... Not all the sub-directories of the store's root.

.htaccess root for both only have the one line

AddHandler x-mapp-php5.5  .php

Indications of this situation are the following (correct me where I'm wrong):

1. The main page of a site is reachable; however, upon click of any link, the individual is redirected to the site that was the source of the files for the current site.
2. The two sites have independent databases or if the same database have different DB_PREFIX values.
3. There is no .htaccess file that is in either of the two site's root directory nor above them that has any rewrite rules in the file.
4. The two sites are in separate folders not one being in a sub-folder of another.

This is indicative of the includes/configure.php file which is typically set to 444 to prevent overwriting from being modified even though it was attempted to be modified/saved/overwritten with a previously generated file. Either that, or the files were heavily modified to hard code store 1's URI within template files etc, which seems highly unlikely.

Suggest verifying the includes/configure.php file for both sites to be different where the path to the two sites are different. If the second site needs to be modified, be sure to change the file security permissions to at least 644 to allow edit, edit and save the file, and then reset the security setting to highest of 444. As part of this process after saving the file(s), be sure to open them again to validate that the changes were saved.

I followed you instructions and right at the end it struck me, check the config files with my backups, to make sure that the information was correct.

No it was not. I had copied the same config files back in. I have changed both of the config files to as they should be and, yes you have guessed it, it all works correctly.

Sorry to mess you guys around.
