MultiSite Mod & Sub-Folders vs Subdomains

I have modified sites_switch.php in the multisite module addon to allow it to work woith either subdomain or sub folders.

usage

• for subdomains: name the site config file as shown in the posted directions ie subdomainname_config.php eg london.tickets.com_config.php
• for sub-folders: name the site config file domainname_subfoldername_config.php eg tickets_london_config.php

This patch will ignore the subdomain config file if a subfolder config file exists.

I'm new to this stuff so use at your own risk and as they say around here, backup 1st.

Attaching file

updated files

How do I get my get this subdomain or subfolder to work:

marchforbabies.morrisgiftshop.biz

here is a sample of the config file:

How can I get going?

Install as per the original multisite instructions. once the install is completed replace the siteswitc and the sitelink files with the ones I changed above and rename the site config files as stated above

I am totally confused I have install everything

I have change this and see if I got this currect:

if it is how do safe the file?

OK the mod here is to be used for **subfolders only **ie "morrisgiftshop.biz/marchforbabies"

If you are using subdomains "marchforbabies.morrisgiftshop.biz" do **NOT **use this mod.

I can do the subfolder

so I need to change this:

roylen1:

<?php $template_dir = "example"; define('SITE_NAME','marchforbabies'); define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.morrisgiftshop.biz'); define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.morrisgiftshop.biz'); define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site ?>

Is that what I need to put in and save file as morrisgiftshop.biz_marchforbabies_config.php?

Yes that is it (but I do not think you need the www i did not include www for my site.)
if 'http://morrisgiftshop.biz' resolves to your site then you should remove the www. i don't think i accounted for www in this mod

Do you have a couple links from your site I can take a look at?

Unfortunately I cannot post the link based on signed agreements. would make things a whole lot easier.
What exactly are you looking for via the link?

Because I want to see if that is what I am wanting to do on my site.

Plus I have a second site to test it with at https://www.mgs-test.com and each links goes to morrisgiftshop.biz why does it do that?

I did everything and if you go to http://morrisgiftshop.biz/marchforbabies/ its say "Page not Found"

what am I doing wrong

Ok I have made a file of morrisgiftshop.biz_marchforbabies_config.php

And nothing comes up. all it says "Page Not Found"

I guess no help then

Roylen,

Can you able to help me?

Thanks.

You need to follow the instructions for the multisite module exactly as written then replace the existing files with the two files I provided and change the config files as I described.

Did you follow the instructions here: http://www.medea.co.uk/dev/multisite_instructions_0.4.html

I'm hoping that you are still "around" and reading this or that you will get a notification of the reply.

I have installed multi-site on a client's site - and I need to use subdomains, so I was very happy to find your modification.

However, I can't seem to get it quite working properly.

I am getting a 403 forbidden error when I view the folder...

Here is the install domain of zencart:
http://zencart.apps.monas.com/

Here is the subfolder:
http://zencart.apps.monas.com/gpwalshcoaching/

This is my config file:

<?php
$template_dir = "nightfall";
define('SITE_NAME','gpwalshcoaching');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://zencart.apps.monas.com/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://zencart.apps.monas.com/');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site  
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'http://zencart.apps.monas.com/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
define('PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT','0'); //Product option type Select
define('UPLOAD_PREFIX','upload_'); //Upload prefix
define('TEXT_PREFIX','txt_'); //Text prefix
?>

I have assigned the categories in the admin-->tools-->Multisite section. But I am not getting anything at the default store page and I'm getting the 403 Forbidden error at the subfolder.

I have searched through the thread for the standard version of this add-on and the extra instructions that everyone has linked to are no longer available.

I'm hoping that you can help me.

Thank you,

Liz
