I'm trying to add a second store to my existing Magento installation (1.8.1.0).

The existing instance sits on https://subdomain1.url.com, Within Magento, website code is base, store view code is default

The 2nd instance is to sit on http://subdomain2.url.com, Within Magento, Website code is 2ndstore, store view code is 2ndstore_sv

I have amended the configuration within Magento so that the new subdomain is configured for the store (System -> Configuration -> Web -> Base URL)

I have set up subdomain2 within cPanel and the root is pointing to subdomain1

Within the htaccess file I have the following:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)subdomain2.url.com
RewriteRule ^ - [E=MAGE_RUN_CODE:2ndstore_sv]

Yet when I type http://subdomain2.url.com into the browser I end up at https://subdomain1.url.com

Any suggestions on where I am going wrong?

  1. You should point the DNS of the second store to https://subdomain2.url.com and add the alias in your Vhost.

  2. Add this in your .htaccess

    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE website
    SetEnvIf Host subdomain1\.url\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=domain1
    SetEnvIf Host subdomain2\.url\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=domain2
    
  3. Add the code bellow in your index.php above this: Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);

    switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
        case 'subdomain1.url.com':
        case 'www.subdomain1.url.com':
            $mageRunCode = 'domain1';
            $mageRunType = 'website';
        break;
        case 'subdomain2.url.com':
        case 'www.subdomain2.url.com':
            $mageRunCode = 'domain2';
            $mageRunType = 'website';
        break;
    }
