Multi Stores with sub domains

Hi guys, I am having some hard time in getting the nop commerce multi store feature work in my 2 subdomains:

sub1.domain.com
sub2.domain.com

I have installed the nop files on my main domain which is domain.com (not in sub1 or sub2 subdomain) and have created the two above subdomains through the hosting admin panel.

I have also created 2 stores in nop admin panel:

URL: http://sub1.domain.com/
HOST Values: sub1.domain.com,www.sub1.domain.com

and

URL: http://sub1.domain.com/
HOST Values: sub1.domain.com,www.sub1.domain.com

Could you please give me some details about what should I change in DNS settings through hosting admin panel?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please have a look at the following article - Setting Up Multi-stores (http://docs.nopcommerce.com/display/nc/Setting+Up+Multi-stores). I presume you're interested in steps 1-3

Hi thanks for your reply. I have already found this page.
Actually, I cannot understand the step 2. What is the full CNAME record that I should add in DNS settings?

Thanks again.

my solution for Multistore without subdomains and multiple wildcard sslzertificats.

each currency can have its own store . so fixed shippingprice per currencny are possible.

just recomple the Nop.Web.Framework  and set the store by Querystring Param setstore=storehost

example:
mystore.com?setstore=store1
mystore.com?setstore=store2

storesettings hostvalues must contains 'store1' or store2



I just read the cookie nop.customer , place the name 'store' + cookie in the settingstaple with the value from querystring.
each time CurrentStore is called  the host variable will be overwritten withe the setting from the settingtable  if available.

Hello,

i would like to setup multistore using subdomains. I followed your instruction, but without succes.

1. I created one subdomain http://b2b.podistostreho.si/ with Plesk and forward it with CNAME record to main domain podistostreho.si.
2. But, when i tried to create ALIAS for this subdomain, it Plesk doesn't allow, 'Alias for this domain already exist'.
3. If i browse subdomain, it shows welcome index.html file, created with Plesk.
4. In nop admin section i created store with host values: b2b.podistostreho.si, www.b2b.podistostreho.si
and URL http://b2b.podistostreho.si

My domain is test domain without DNS records, for browsing you must add this record in your's PC host datafile:

212.44.105.150 podistostreho.si
212.44.105.150 b2b.podistostreho.si

Please help.

Thanks and kind regards, Boris

I think if it doesn't allow you add record, then you need to contact your server admin / support. You can also check an article published here and here.

Hello,

thanks for your post. I'll check it with my host provider.

Kind regards, Boris

Hi Boris

Our Source let's set up Nop als Multistore with one Domain and without Subdomains. Therefore we only need one ssl certificate for all countries, currencies etc.

in your case, I think you should setup up 2 domains as follows:

www.podistostreho.si
b2b.podistostreho.si

and then follow Andrei's article - Setting Up Multi-stores.

Thanks Andre,

i'm going to try your way to.

Kind regards, Boris

Hello,

we found solution, i hope.

Plesk 9.5 doesn't allow to create alias for domain with existing domain or subdomain at same host.

So i didn't create any additional domain, i just created alias for main domain. I did setup also new 'alias' store in nop admin and allocated some products just for main store and some products just for store with 'alias' name.

If i browse main domain or alias domain, i see only allocated products for each store. It seems it works correctly?

Could some nopcommerce developer check this?

Thanks and kind regards, Boris
