Is it possible to have 2 shops on the same domain

Hi,
Can anyone help please. I have a shop at www.domain.com/store and want a second shop at (same domain/ database) www.domain.com/export I have tried loading a second shop but it will not pass 'save system settings'. Do i need to upload the tables prefixed by export_ in the database manually and configure the config file myself? Or will it not work?
It seems to be getting confused. The reason for two shops are the the prices may well be different the products will not always be the same in both shops.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

As long as you have two different databases for the installations, there should be no interference. With one database, you will need to use a prefix to keep the stores' information separate. That done, again, there should be no interference. You should not need to upload prefixed tables manually.

do a search for this: MultiSite Module Support Thread

This should be for you...

Thanks for the replies, do you know if having different prices will be an issue? I would be using the same database but pre tables with export_
I get the impression that this might be a problem scanning the MultiSite Module Support Thread as it seems to use the same files for both sites. I was thinking more on the lines of having two installations of zen cart one in export the other in store.
Thanks for the replies any further help / advice would be appreciated.

I think for your application you would be better off with two separate installations, and using the prefix.

Thanks I will try that.:smile:

Hi, Is there anybody have the answer for my problem....???

I have 2 stores on the same domain, but each of those two stores are located in the completely different directory and have their own individual database.

The history is as follow, I have created a shop for australian customer and run perfectly, then later I install another shop for US customer in different directory.

I copy all application files from australian site to us site, except the configuration.php file in "/admin/includes/" and "/includes/" directory.
I have also backup the sql file at australian site, then later restore it to the database at freshly installed us site.

I have also the "sessions" setup at US site to have the appropriate cache directory.

The situation is both sites run well, only when I browse both sites at the same time at the same computer, login with same or different account, each site seems to knock each other. eg. I login to australian site at one window then login to the US site at another window, when I come back to australian site window I am logged out at behind. same thing happen the other way around.

Why is this happen considering I have setup the "sessions" at /configuration/ correctly, ie. each site to have a their own cache directory?

Is this caused by the _vti_cnf directory which I also copy from australian to US site?

This really confuse me. Appreciate anybody can give me a clue and solve the problem.

Thanks & regards,
Jimmy

Use different browsers if need be ...

FireFox for instance uses tabs and the tabs are all friends and try to share with one another ...

You should be able to run two different sessions of FireFox and it should not conflict ...

Or run IE for one and FireFox for the other and then you won't bump into each other ... :smile:

Hi Linda,

Thanks for your advice. Now I understand that it is my browser problem, not the website. whuuuuiiii.... what a relieve...

I try using both firefox and IE at the same time and everything is fine.

Thanks & regards,
Jimmy
