MultiSite Module Support Thread

[LittleOleMeDesigns]

There is an index.php file in the root that has a link in it to go to the store, and I am going to www.myurl.com/zen-cart to get the store... the store is working fine since I installed the multi-site module, but the main website is not.

Perhaps I should have clarified this better. I have a standard html website on the root (www.myurl.com) and I have the store in a sub-directory (www.myurl.com/zen-cart). From the standard html website, there is a link in the header to "SHOP" that links to the store. Since I installed the multi-site module, my html website on the root shows that error message that "the domain www.myurl.com does not exist"

Also, on the store, all the relative links are broken... anything that was (../images/myimage.jpg)...

It seems like the multi-site module doesn't recognize that the shop is installed in a sub-directory and instead is affecting the root... I'm trying to figure out if there was something I needed to do differently to use the shop in a sub-directory.

Here's a wild guess:
try editing your sites_switch.php under config_sites folder

seems it could have something to do with it... i'm not sure.

FORGOT: is zencart installed in your sub-dir or is it installed somewhere else and the sub-dir should be a multisite?

Wow... ok... that got me part of the way there... I changed this:

if(file_exists("includes/config_sites/$config_file")) {
include("includes/config_sites/$config_file");
} else {
//echo "the domain $default_server_name does not exist.";
//exit;
}

Still having the issue with the images on the store though...

[LittleOleMeDesigns]

Ok... got it all sorted out FINALLY...

same file... the sites_switch.php... here's what I have in case anyone else runs into this problem. My situation is that the store is in a subfolder and I have a static html site on the root. I had to comment out the error message to stop the static html site from throwing an error and I had to change the root HTTP and HTTPS directories to include the subdomain so that all the relative links in the store would still work.

$default_server_name = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$config_file = $default_server_name.'_config.php';

if(file_exists("includes/config_sites/$config_file")) {
include("includes/config_sites/$config_file");
} else {
//echo "the domain $default_server_name does not exist.";
//exit;
}

//Name of the site that is written in the categories
define('SITE_NAME',$config_file);
//The order for this site will be seen for ORDER_SITE from the admin section
define('ORDER_SITE',SITE_NAME);
define('HTTP_SERVER', "http://$default_server_name/zen-cart");
define('HTTPS_SERVER', "https://$default_server_name/zen-cart");

//Define the parent category as 0 if not defined
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','0');
?>

And does this work with your other site(s) running on multisite? I believe you should edit the first lines... commenting out the error lines doesn't make the errors go away.
don't know, still guessing, just like the first time...

[LittleOleMeDesigns]

I don't like commenting it out, because you're right, normally that would be an error and I'm just hiding it, but my other site isn't in a subfolder, so I'm not sure how to edit the first lines to allow it to have a subdirectory on one and not on the other... So far, all 3 are working though... Store in a subdirectory with a static html site in the root and another store that's not in a subdirectory.

I don't think that is a multisite mod problem as much as a template problem. Looks like a define file (maybe a language file) is missing or not being found within the template.

When the menu was made for site 1 were the paths hard coded? Could it be that when you duplicated the template for site 2 that it is not locating a file or files that define the menu items. You can see the variables but it is not picking up the define for it.

Recheck your template for site 2 and I think you will find the problem.

Yes, this was the problem, thank's for the advice

Hello, has anyone come accross this message before?

You are running php in safe mode. Switch to normal and the error should go away. See your PHP.ini file.

I've been searching this forum for days looking for the answer to this simple question.

I've done everything I need to do to get the separate sites up and running with the exception of the SSL Certificate. What exactly is it that I need to do to get SSL's on different domains using this mod, such as:

www .Site1 .com
www .Site2 .com

I tried setting up a multidomain SSL as suggested by my hosting provider and the good folks at GoDaddy, but only the main FQDN jumps to https. Any other site gets redirected back to the unsecure http. If this isn't the right procedure, does anyone here know how to proceed for this kind of setup?
