Multi-Store Rewrites and htaccess (index.php)

Question

Outline

I am running internationalized magento stores under sub-directories with sys-links created for every sub-directory and own index.php and .htaccess

• fashion.co.uk - default store
• fashion.com - enter page
• fashion.com/us/ - American store view
• fashion.com/eu/ - European store view
• fashion.com/au/ - Australian store view

---

Problem

When accessing any of the internationalized stores, the URLs can not be accessed as of 404 error. When I disable Use Web Server Rewrites for these stores the URLs are accessible as:

• www.fashion.com/us/index.php/new/bras

When above is enabled the accessed link looks like below but 404 error appears.

• www.fashion.com/us/new/bras - 404

How do I remove/rewrite the index.php from all the urls making all the links work?

Structure

The 'default store' is simply under 'public_html' directory and within root I have internationalized sub-directories.

The 'default store' has:

• Add Store Code to URLs: No
• Auto-redirect to Base URL: No
• Use Web Server Rewrites: Yes

The 'American, European & Australian store view' has:

• Use Web Server Rewrites: Yes
• Base & Secure URL: http:// www.fashion.com/us/
• Base & Secure URL: http:// www.fashion.com/eu/
• Base & Secure URL: http:// www.fashion.com/au/
• Base URLs: Use Website

Answer 1

This .htaccess can't work. /us and so on are not part of the host name (I.e. the domain)

For your desired setup it's probably the best to set "add store code to URL" to "yes"
