I had multisite running on 1.3.9 for a couple of years now..
so I know a little about it.
but now I just can't figure this out

I have three domain.
Herasonlinemarket.com/shop main site
buykandibracelets.com
buykandi.com

ok the main site is working and is working fine

it is the other two that don't work

Here is the config file for buykandibracelets

<?php define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/'); $template_dir = "zen2"; define('SITE_NAME','zen2'); ?>

and Categories Description: for kandi store

<!--Zen--Zen3-zen2-->

and my cpanel is
Addon Domains Document Root Username
buykandibracelets.com Home/public_html/shop buykandibracelets

when I go to buykandibracelets.com
it show up great.
then when I click on categories
kandi store
the URL changes to buykandibracelets.com/shop/kandi_store
but the screen stays on the home page.
I just don't know how to fix this ..

the way it worked before there was no -shop- in the url

and yes I have the switch in the configuration file

any help would be great.

I have picked up support of a Zencart site and am in the process of upgrading it from 1.3.8a to 1.5.1. The 1.5.1 store currently has Lightbox, Imagehandler and Multisite addons installed.

On the 1.3.8a site, it is able to force customers to log in before viewing items in the store. You can see it here --> http://b2b.essentialjourneys.com. With the same Zencart installation and using Multisite, it allows visitors to browse items at this address --> http://store.essentialjourneys.com without logging in.

I know I can force customer logins through the admin tool and setting the View Shop and Prices option. However, doing this on the 151 upgrade site causes both the store and b2b store fronts to force a login. How do I selectively force a login between store fronts (b2b -- yes to login; store -- no to login)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Tom

In your config files for the sites (In the folder includes\config_sites)

add: ```php
define('CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL', '1');

or any value you need from tis choice
0= Not required
1= Must login to browse
2= May browse but no prices unless logged in
3= Showroom Only

This will override the default value in the database.
In your admin under tools=>Multisite tools  you can find all the possible overrides.

Geez...it was right under my nose! Thanks for clarifying...it's working as I expect! Tom

ZC 1.5.1
and 18 Mods Installed and working correctly.

I am new to this and is in the process of installing Multisite v1.0 to my zencart. I follow steps 1 to 14 of the installation. I can log into my admin control panel. I do see the Admin>Tools>Multisite Tools menu.

when I try to access my site, it gives me the following message: "the domain birthdaysextreme.net does not exist."

Am I not done yet? I d not understand how the configuration part of the instructions work. Can anyone give me some pointers here?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

ZC1.5.1
Multisite v1.0

Can Anyone tell me what is wrong with my config_sites.php files? I get only the header of my site and template, but nothing that appears below the header. My sites are: https://www.birthdaysextreme.net and https://www.birthdayandmore.net

also, when no using the "www." in the browser will yield: "the domain birthdayandmore.net does not exist."

Please see below:

site: https://www.birthdaysextrme.net

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

I am assuming your original site is http://www.birthdayandmore.net/
since that is the one that is working, and probably is already defined throughthe normal config files.

try this for the second site```php

that should be enough

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

can left from both files since it is alredy defined in the original config.php , and is not different in the new site

Normally on a good configured server if you go to a www address it should be configured to go automatically to the non www address, or the other way around, what ever has your preference.
If it doesn't you can use your .htaccess file the establish this.

No. The original was <https://www.birthdaysextreme.net>

based on what you just said, I have done the following:

<?php
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
  $template_dir = "robbor_green_BAM";
  define('SITE_NAME','robbor_green_BAM');
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.birthdayandmore.net');
?>


Result is still the same.  can you browse it from your end and see the result?

Okay, seems to be working now, since I can access both sites

actually I have just changed the files to:

and

is it still working? or should I revert back? I did that is because I didn't see it working at my end.

Yes, it is still working over here :)
That is about the bare minimum you need to put in the config files

this is what I normally use for the main/first site

<?php
$template_dir = "template1";
define('SITE_NAME','mysite');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mysite.nl');
// EOF

And this for the extra domains

<?php
$template_dir = "template2";
define('SITE_NAME','myseccondsite');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://myseccondsite.nl');
//EOF

That is the minimum, after you can add extra overrides

No I also only see the headers, but the rest not showing is not a config file problem.

You'll probably have some debug files, the page just stops loading after the header part of the site

so the problem is not with the config_site.php files
Yes I do have some debug files.
Could it be a template problem?

Could be anything, but just paste the contents here of the newest file and I will take a look.

log doesn't show anything pertaining to the *.net sites. Is there ususally a lag on error logs files?

here is the last MyDebug File:

No there is no lag, they show up immediately
