Multiple stores on single domain on Magento 1.9.2.4 Configuration issues

[ApsG]

Hi,

I am trying to install multi stores on my domain.

My Magento installation is 1.9.2.4

My magento installation is in mydomain.com/store. This works fine.

I want to install another store as a folder as in :  mydomain.com/store/newstore/

For the newstore, the root category, the new store and store name,  store view and store code are all set.

Currently I have not added any items to the root category.

In the Admin control panel

Under System - Configuration - Current configuration scope - Default config - Web - Add store codes to URLs is selected as yes

Under System - configuration - Current configuration scope is selected as newstore - English

Under Configuration - Web

The Unsecure and Secure Base URL fields do not allow me to make any new entry. (Use website is unchecked)

What should the entries here be ?

• Should they reflect my original installation at mydomain.com/store/

or

• Should they reflect my newstore installation at mydomain.com/store/newstore/

The index.php and .htaccess files have been copied from my original installation mydomain.com/store to mydomain.com/store/newstore/.

These also need to be suitably modified. Please advise

Can somebody please shed some light on how to make this whole thing work ?

Hi @ApsG

Please set these configuration in newstore index.php

Find the lines

$compilerConfig = MAGENTO_ROOT . 'includes/config.php';

and 

$mageFilename = MAGENTO_ROOT . 'app/Mage.replacewith

replace with

$compilerConfig = MAGENTO_ROOT . '/../includes/config.php';

///and

$mageFilename = MAGENTO_ROOT . '/../app/Mage.php';

because the new store use your root installation files.

For admin configuration Please follow the link

Thank you for your post !

Tried exactly as you said  but does not work. I suspect it is some configuration issue either the the index.php or the .htaccess file or both. I feel that every iteration of Magento from 1.4 to 1.9 implements this in a somewhat different manner. May be I am just missing something....

While searching for a solution, I have not come across a single instance or example  where somebody has actually implemented this on 1.9.2.4

If you do think of something please do post.
