I am using Magento 1.8.1.0 with multiple websites. I followed the instructions to setup the multiple websites as described here: http://www.dbits.be/blog/index.php/How-To/magento-multi-store-setup-sub-folders.html
- Create stores/views/sites
- Set default URL (safe/unsafe) and Homepage for each store.
- Create subfolders, files & symlinks
- Edit index.php in each subfolder
I would say that my setup is working halfway:
www.mydomain.com/
is pointing to my base website. This website is working perfectly fine.
www.mydomain.com/paris/
is pointing to the Paris website homepage which is fine. The links in the menu all have the www.mydomain.com/paris/
subfolder part, so this seems to be working fine too.
Problem is when I try to access a category or a product within a secondary website, such as www.mydomain.com/paris/shirts/
This type of URL is redirecting to the main website homepage. So it seems Magento doesn't recognize urls of type www.mydomain.com/paris/xxxx
to belong to the Paris website but is looking in the base website, can't find anything and redirects to the base website's homepage.
I am out of ideas on how to fix this, any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Auto-redirect to Base URL
toNo
.Auto-redirect to Base URL
is already set toNo
.htaccess
file (I hope you are running on apache) and uncomment the line#RewriteBase /magento/
and replace/magento/
with your folder name./paris/
in this case.
