duplicate shop but both use same database

HI

I need to duplicate my shop onto a subdomain and have both shops running under different names but using the same database / stock items. Can I just copy the shop to the subdomain?

Re: duplicate shop but both use same database

If you are duplicating for wholesale/retail or customer pricing differences, why not use a mod (look at pricing tools for options) to handle that rather than subject yourself to the problems involved with using a single DB for two sites.

Re: duplicate shop but both use same database

Hi

I want to duplicate so I can run the shop under a different name on the same server. Pricing will all be the same but different domain name, shop name and graphics.

regards

Phil
