Answer 1

You may have skipped or missed a step.

Please check below steps:

• Create root categories for different websites. (Not mandatory, but recommended)
• Create multiple websites, their respective stores, and store views.
• Create folders for newly created websites, copy index.php and .htaccess files into these folders and make necessary changes in index.php or .htaccess files.
• Make changes in secure and unsecure Base URLs of different websites from System > Configuration > General (Web) section. Do remember to select a particular website to set Base URL.

Please let me know if you are able to fix the issue.

Answer 2

Here is very brief guide:

First create the website,store. This is all done via the Magento administration.

System->Manage Stores

for each store that you want, create a website, store and store view. Make a note of the codes as you need those in the code below.

Then in your index.php file have some code like this:

switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {

     case 'example1.com':
     case 'www.example1.com':
        Mage::run('website_code1', 'website');
     break;

     case 'example2.com':
     case 'www.example2.com':
        Mage::run('website_code2', 'website');
     break;


     default: //run the default store if for some reason the above hasn't worked.
        Mage::run();
     break;
}
