MultiSite Module Support Thread

[swilliams88]

Could this issue have to do with the SSL?

A little background:

I am implementing Multisite on a test environment (a remote staging server rather than a local install). I have Zen Cart installed into a directory (ex. www.domain.com/shop) with the two subdomains (shop.domain.com and catalog.domain.com) pointed to the Zen Cart installed directory.

I have matched up the
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.domain.com');
exactly how it is in the includes/config.php file but the SSL we will be using is really for our live site and not the testing server.

Can I comment out the define('HTTPS_SERVER' and define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATLOG' to make it work or does anyone have any other solutions?

I have my stores configured like yours and am using a shared SSL too. That was not the problem with the templates in my case...it was something so ridiculously simple...in the domain.com_config.php files in the config_sites directory I had a url in place of the /. It should be:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

That's all...once I removed the urls, the templates and the links to other pages worked!

I guess I'm on to the next hurdle...looks like a lot of people have problems with the sidebars...<fingers crossed I won't>...

Hope this helps you too!

I am trouble on my second test site. The web address is http://www.mgs-test.com the problem I am having is this:

look at the categories on left has all categories its suppose to be just "Candle Holders" and the center module is showing all. What could be the problem?

Also when you click on a category or any product it shows the link to http://www.morrisgiftshop.biz

Can you post an updated link to the instructions? When I go to http://www.medea.co.uk/dev/multisite...tions_4.0.html I get a broken link error. Thanks!

I was able to find a copy of the instructions at:

So far I think I've got everything set up correctly but a step is missing somewhere. Nothing shows up on my "child" sites except the default directory listing.

Here's what I've done:
1. Installed a clean Zen Cart on domain mainsite.com
2. Uploaded the ADD and MODIFY files.
3. Added the SQL command to the db.
4. Added bl.com and sa.com - the two child stores - as add-on domains to mainsite.com via the Cpanel.
5. Added the switch code to the configuration.
6. Created a template file for bl.com and sa.com.
7. Created a configuration file for all three domains.
8. In Admin, created two categories - bl and sa - and added the comment code for each (that shows up in admin/multisite tools).

All this works in the admin of mainsite.com but how do I get the products to show up on bl.com and sa.com?

Am I supposed to upload anything to the two child domains?

Thanks for any help you can offer !

There should not be any separate folders for the other domain. The names should point to the same folder as the main site.

Which post are you referring to fotofx? If mine, the only separate folders for the add-on domains on the main site are for the templates. The other two domains have no files or folders at all. All that shows up is the default "Index of /".
