MultiSite Module Support Thread

[Carbonless]

Any issues to be aware of? I used to have a heavily modified version running and had to abandon from lack of updates as many core files were modified.

I believe DrByte was the one that updated it, it should work pretty good! I haven't been able to play with it but if there's people using it already should be a good sign.

My advise as being a long time zen cart user.. take your time.. i would download you cart and make test one and work from there.
I got it working.

ok whos your hosting company.. I need to know this to help you. do you have cpanel? the place you uploaded your store

If you did all the settings and configurations correctly this is triggered either by a direct link (domain or subdomain), and/or with the sidebox of the module or a link from any EasyPages section.

Thanks for the help guys.
SO www.Domain1.com is where the store is loaded (comes up fine). www.Domain2.com, www.domain3.com ect.. ?. when i put the address in for domain 2,3,4,ect Is it sent to where the store is parked on domain 1 via redirect? or do i have to install the store on all domains domains using the same database? Or am i just total missing how to install this correctly?

No, you don't have to install ZC on all 3 domain (that's the magic and the reason to have Multisite)

• Did you install 3 templates? (even if they are the same template, you need 3 templates, 1 for each domain);
• Did you configure the configuration files (each domain/subdomain needs 1 separate file);
• Finally, did you do the redirection of all the subdomains on cPanel?

[MrAliKorn]

I use Brave host, There is a cPanel equivalent. Is it a simple Domain redirect (if so does it point to the host domain or something specific?) or is it a change the IPs of the Name servers thing. Its probably something simple, I am just not seeing how the other domains 1. get to the install 2. Triger the correct template I'm probably over thinking it.

First = Create subdomain pointing to the store root:
In your SUBDOMAINS Panel
sub1.domain.com --> /public_html
If your store is in root, no need to add anything else to that link, if is in a subdirectory, then it should point to that directory. Example: /public_html/store

Second - Create the domain for that subdomain:
In your DOMAINS Panel
Site 1
It's already there and doesn't need any redirect

Site 2
domain2.com
Document Root = /public_html
Redirect --> to the root directory (no matter where the store is)

sub1.domain.com =
Document Root = /public_html
Again... if is in a subdirectory, then it should point to that directory. Example: /public_html/store

Third = Create/Verify the Redirection:
In your REDIRECTS Panel:
domain2.com
Redirect URL --> the sub1.domain.com

I hope that helps. Let me know if you got it working.
