MultiSite Module Support Thread

[lndlyb4]

I'm having a bit of a tough time installing this
module onto my site.
I'm working with an existing zen cart installation that has been
customized quite a bit.
I followed the instructions for adding new files and hand-coding the files that already exist.
The primary site is livingcolorgardencenter.net and the second
site is a subdomain blackoliveeastnursery.net.

When I try to access my online store at livingcolorgardencenter.net/zencart_living_color/
all I get is a blank page.

I'm not sure if it is because the zencart store is in the folder "zencart_living_color"
instead of the root folder.

My config files are named livingcolorgardencenter.net_config.php and blackoliveeastnursery.net_config.php

Their contents are as follows:

<?php
$template_dir = "living_color";
define('SITE_NAME','Livng Color Garden Center');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.livingcolorgardencenter.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://livingcolorgardencenter.net');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site  
?>

<?php
$template_dir = "black_olive";
define('SITE_NAME','Black Olive East Nursery');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.blackoliveeastnursery.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://blackoliveeastnursery.net');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site  
?>

I have seen some posts about "pointing" the named servers to the right domain which I am having trouble understanding.

I hope I have provided enough information.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Ok Now I understand why other people posting on these boards get so upset..
the answer is in this forum..
I answered something close in post #1469

I have cpanel for my background on my domains.. what do you have?
this is where I had the most problem... and spent the most time on these forums is setting up the extra domain in the background..
is your hosting linux or windows.
I will try to help you .. as long as you have cpanel.. I don't know any of the others.

I have cpanel. I am not sure if it is Linux or Windows. Is there a way of determining it from the cpanel?

[lndlyb4]

My hosting webpage says: "All HostGator shared webhosting, reseller, and VPS accounts run on CentOS Linux x86, which is identical to Red Hat Enterprise Linux."

I have a vps account which is a dedicated server.

Noppie,

"Ok Now I understand why other people posting on these boards get so upset..

I'm not sure what you are implying here, but I have spent hours over a period of several days reading these post here. I've even read some of your posts where you were confused and needed help.

I looked at the post you mentioned and it doesn't seem to answer my question. I'm hoping you will consider the tone in your response in light of the fact that we ALL find ourselves pulling our hair out from time to time and have to rely on others for help.

Up until now, I have received nothing but courteous and respectful help. The fact that this forum is now nearly 150 pages long should tell you that its installation can be problematic.

I think we are all better served without sarcastic comments. If you need my help someday, I will try to refrain from such.

My apologies if I misinterpreted your meaning.

I didn't mean to sound sarcastic.. I don't think from what I can remember any of my post I posted i ever got help.. I had to re read this forum over and over again..
and yes it is very confusing and very frustrating.. but really really worth the effort.


I had a heck of a time getting the second domain name working..

Now I added a couple of pictures that helped me to get in the right direction with the second domain name.

I added the second domain to point to html and not a folder
the picture shows a folder to point to buykandibracelets.com ad a domain name addon
I pointed it to ---> Home/public_html
not creating a folder like the picture show..

I hope that helps..
I would be nice if this was all in one place instead of spread out though the whole posts.

Noppie,

Okie dokie we're down to the LAST issue and we'll be rolling.

Our main site is worthsoftballbats.com and we bought a wildcard SSL for that so it would cover all subdomains.

Then we setup a couple of child sites, one of which is allbaseballbats.com, as an add-on domain. In CPanel, that shows up as allbaseballbats.worthsoftballbats.com as a subdomain.

So now I set the config file for allbaseballbats.com_config.php to look like this:
<?php
define('STORE_NAME','All Baseball Bats'); //Store Name
define('STORE_OWNER','All Baseball Bats'); //Store Owner
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
$template_dir = "allbaseballbats";
define('SITE_NAME','allbaseballbats');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://allbaseballbats.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://allbaseballbats.worthsoftballbats.com');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','0'); //root categories is 1 for this site
?>

The problem is that on the checkout page I get this error:
"the domain allbaseballbats.worthsoftballbats.com does not exist."

If I take out the worthsoftballbats in the https:// line, the checkout page comes up but also with a warning that the page is insecure.

I guess what I need is some guidance on correctly setting up the config to work with the wildcard SSL. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

I'm having trouble getting it to work with my Wildcard SSL as well. Anyone have that issue before?

Hi

I have installed the multisite mod with 1.3.9h and works well except for 1 little thing. Should the site name should apperar in the edit orders or the invoice? I can see the file admin/order.php has referance to the site name and in the orders database there is order_site which holds the name of the site that placed the order. I have checked the database and the name is their. I have re uploaded the moded files but still nothing. I have looked on this thead but could not find any referance to this problem.

Is this a problem or is this information not ment to be displayed?

Thanks
