MultiSite Module Support Thread

[glogo]

@ALL,

again trying to get things to work. First, I took everything out of the categories descriptions column except for the html comment. Then, set up the config_sites folders thusly:
----------------------------

ZEN APP is in folder --> mydomain.com/folder/shop

ALL PRODUCTS AND CATS (crafts, foods and books) ARE IN THIS SITE

CONFIG FILES 1-2
mydomain.com_config.php, www.mydomain.com_config.php

<?php
 	define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
	define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
	$template_dir = "mihluna";
	define('SITE_NAME','FAIR');
	define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.com/folder/shop');
	define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com/folder/shop');
	define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','0'); //root categories is 0 for this site  
?>

CONFIG FILES 3-4 / JUST CRAFTS IN THIS SITE
crafts.mydomain.com_config.php, www.crafts.mydomain.com_config.php

<?php
	define('SITE_NAME','CRAFTS');
 	define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
	define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
	$template_dir = "CRAFTS_mihluna";
	define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','3'); //root categories is 3 for this site  
?>

CONFIG FILES 5-6 / only FOOD HERE
foods.mydomain.com_config.php, www.foods.mydomain.com_config.php

<?php
	define('SITE_NAME','FOODS');
 	define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
	define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
	$template_dir = "FOODS_mihluna";
	define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','2'); //root categories is 2 for this site  
?>

CONFIG FILES 7-8 / just BOOKS IN HERE
books.mydomain.com_config.php, www.books.mydomain.com_config.php

<?php
	define('SITE_NAME','BOOKS');
 	define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
	define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
	$template_dir = "BOOKS_mihluna";

	define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site 
?>

Now, what is happening is that we have the main mihluna template showing up. have activated the site_links.php file and activated the sidebar box in all the templates.

changed the header of the 3 other templates so that I could see if it was loading the different site template, but it is not. What am I missing here?

TIA

First of all, it would be much easier to answer if we could actually take a look at the live sites.
About your templates - are your templates really named using capital letters? If you're on a linux server, "Name" is not the same as "name". Just a thought... Did you make your subdomains' root directory point to your zen app installation folder?

Fair enough:
the site is at http://cooperativetrading.com/1port/shoppe2
but you have to log in over htaccess. It's to keep the bots out for the time being.

login: mutlisite
pass: multi

If you want to log in to the back end, pm me and I will provide a login for any helpful souls, gladly. (or also an ftp login to the folder!)

it's a lin server. I took care to make sure that the template_info.php files and the folders' names were in sync.

the subdomains are pointed to the zen app folder through an apache 301 redirect. that seems to be redirecting properly, also.

Thanks for any help you can offer! Very much appreciated.

PS: just need a few mins to put the themes back the way they were. I was playing with it some more, testing more themes.
Actually, I started out with apple_zen and I wanted to stay with that. I will put that back in there, because Mihluna was also not working properly. So, the theme is apple_zen, with apple_zen_B, apple_zen_C and apple_zen_F.

the subdomains are coop.cooperativetrading.com (foods)
books.cooperativetrading.com and crafts.cooperativetrading.com
plain old "cooperativetrading.com" resolves to the live site in a different folder with a different zen app, which does not have multisite installed.

OK, didn't even need to see your site...
301 redirects are NOT what you need. You don't want to redirect your subdomains. You want to stay in your subdomain, but it "pulls" data from somewhere else.
Take a look at my previous post here - cpanel screenshots is what you're after... :)

Many heartfelt thanks. that was the missing information.

For the benefit of anyone else who feels confused, this was the whole process for me.

As needed this can be updated. If anyone wants to work on it, change anything still unclear, editing writes are available.

Love,

GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS

Thanks glogo, great resource!

cert only valid vor "*.daylightnutrition.biz." (Errorcode: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

Ok, didn't spot that one, took care of it.

The complaint I have is (and I think is what you want to accomplish) that the daylightnutrition.biz comes up on the url, and customer doesn't really like the idea. I don't think there's a solution, is there?

Accessing "https://pclean.biz" leads to a error.

That's because the SSL is for daylightnutrition, so pclean doesn't have one.

Good job! I was thinking of writing a guide, you just saved me the trouble...

One thing, though - i see you thanked me in the tutorial. Well, you might wanna change my name to the one i actually use... I'm not bahlir, i'm balihr - just put a dot before h and you got my domain...

Glad you got it running! Have fun!
