Magento – Multistore: Various shops address via different URLs

Magento is characterized among others by the simple installation of several shops in an installation. So you can more or less as many shops (Websites and / or stores) and in turn create create many store Views. We are a store view controls using a URL, I discussed a few posts (see here).

Since this is actually the second step and I have now again a URL to a particular shop (Website) wanted to send, I write quickly a To-Do, to drive to several stores on the general domain.

Condition is, that the various sites in the backend, Stores and Store Views are created and activated. Normally it controls directly to a website, or. we want to do this as. Should be referred to a store or store view, Please the article from above for help.

Now in order to achieve the various shops of an installation can, will be shown here, how changed the index.php in the root directory Magento needs to be, um von www.domain1.de auf den “Domain1” Come to shop, its Web site name (or. its Code) “domain1” is.

Dasselbe soll auch für www.domain2.de für den Shop “Domain2” fold.

So we open the index.php and add approximately. in line 72 after umask(0); and before the } the following lines:

// Domain 1 (Anm.: This is just an information to the user and has no meaning for the code)

case 'domain1.de':
case ‘www.domain1.de’:
$_SERVER[“MAGE_RUN_CODE”] = “domain1”;
$_SERVER[“MAGE_RUN_TYPE”] = “website”;
break;

// Domain 2

case 'domain2.de':
case ‘www.domain2.de’:
$_SERVER[“MAGE_RUN_CODE”] = “domain2”;
$_SERVER[“MAGE_RUN_TYPE”] = “website”;
break;

// Standard (default store) (Anm.: This is in all other cases, calls to the standard shop)
default:
break;

Well it might work already. You may delete cache. It is important to note the exact spelling of the code of the website. The name of the website is completely irrelevant. Even the United- sensitive enough for error.

It may be necessary, however, nor the .htaccess be changed, if it does not work. Just try it and after the last line: # none FileETag installed for each side of a rewrite rule:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^ . Domain1 . Of $
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain1.de$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^ . Domain2 . Of $
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain2.de$

Now it should work no later than.

Another variant, the version 1.4 to fold (have not tried it myself), is the following:

In the. Htaccess and add this lines:
SetEnvIf Host DOMAIN1.com MAGE_RUN_TYPE=Storeview1
SetEnvIf Host DOMAIN2.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=Storeview2

Used in Magento versions 1.4.1.0 & 1.4.1.1

Supplement of 12.08.2011:

Actually, I already wanted to write longer, But it was done now but only now. Bei Magento 1.5. is written back to the index.php, not only up there, but this (behind unmask(0); and before /* Store or website code */ $mageRunCoe…):

if ($_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] == “domain.de” || $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] == “www[oder Subdomain].domain.de”){
$_SERVER[“MAGE_RUN_CODE”] = “[Your website code]”;
$_SERVER[“MAGE_RUN_TYPE”] = “website”;
}

This can be repeated as often.

Used in Magento Version 1.5.1.0. Ask? Comments? Suggestions? Gladly!
