How to change theme for magento multiple store?

Question

I'm using Magento 1.7.0.2.

I follow this Tutorial for creating the website on my local machine.

Default magento url is: http://localhost/magento

My new site URL is: http://localhost/magento/newsite

Now I have to change the "THEME" for the new site.

I've tried these methods:

Method 1:

1. system -> configuration
2. Change the current configuration scope to my new site.
3. General -> Design ->theme (give the theme name modern for Templates

Method 2:

1. system -> Design -> Add design

2. select my site and theme (modern)

But the theme didn't change it always take the theme which I gave for the default config.

Answer 1

I got the answer, i make mistake here.

In the new store "index.php" file u need to change the content like.

umask(0);
/* Store or website code */
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : '<your site code>';
/* Run store or run website */
$mageRunType = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE'] : 'website';

Now i fix the issue.

Cheers.
