Re: Multisite setup and admin login issue (Magento...

Hello all,

My current Magento sites are running on CE 2.2.5 at:

store.slovenly.com
store.slovenly.com/world
store.slovenly.com/mexico
store.slovenly.com/japan

I'm in the process of setting up the same in Magento CE 2.4 -- but I'm starting from scratch and will use a new theme and import my catalogs.

I've been going through and configuring everything manually at https://store24.slovenly.com/ , but I'm not sure how to make the multisites work properly (i.e. https://store24.slovenly.com/world/)

I searched around and found some instructions online but so far haven't been successful. I'm not sure if these instructions apply to CE 2.4, nor am I sure of the exact syntax for the copies of index.php in the subfolders.

Here is a look at the index.php file from my Magento root folder: https://snipboard.io/gZ7kxH.jpg -- I'm aware that I need to replace 'website2' after PARAM_RUN_CODE with the code for the secondary website, but I'm not exactly sure what index.php needs to contain, nor am I finding any instructions that I understand.

My server is a Cloud Dedicated CentOS 7 64-bit with cPanel from LiquidWeb. In some Magento Docs on the subject I read separate instructions for Apache vs. nginx -- I'm not sure how to check which I'm using but I'm pretty sure I remember tech support mentioning restarting Apache.

--

To make matters worse, I am no longer able to sign into the admin backend -- every time I try, instead of getting the 2FA prompt after entering username & password, I just get a Logout link, or occasionally this error message: All other open sessions for this account were terminated.

for a multisite setup, you can follow these steps:

Create a folder for websiteB.com in the pub folder & point that to websiteB.com

copy index.php & .htaccess of pub folder into websiteB.com

cd magento2_root/pub/
mkdir websiteB.com
cp index.php websiteB.com/
cp .htaccess websiteB.com/

Create symlinks for media & static files

cd websiteB.com
ln -s ../media
ln -s ../static

Edit index.php and paste the following code

<?php
/**
 * Public alias for the application entry point
 *
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList;

try {
    require __DIR__ . '/../../app/bootstrap.php';
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo <<<HTML
<div style="font:12px/1.35em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
    <div style="margin:0 0 25px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;">
        <h3 style="margin:0;font-size:1.7em;font-weight:normal;text-transform:none;text-align:left;color:#2f2f2f;">
        Autoload error</h3>
    </div>
    <p>{$e->getMessage()}</p>
</div>
HTML;
    exit(1);
}

$params = $_SERVER;
$params[Bootstrap::INIT_PARAM_FILESYSTEM_DIR_PATHS] = array_replace_recursive(
    $params[Bootstrap::INIT_PARAM_FILESYSTEM_DIR_PATHS] ?? [],
    [
        DirectoryList::PUB => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => ''],
        DirectoryList::MEDIA => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'media'],
        DirectoryList::STATIC_VIEW => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'static'],
        DirectoryList::UPLOAD => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'media/upload'],
    ]
);

$websitecode = "websiteB.com";
$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = $websitecode;
$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';

$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app */
$app = $bootstrap->createApplication(\Magento\Framework\App\Http::class);
$bootstrap->run($app);

NOTE: Update website code.

update URL for website in-store -> Configuration :: WEB
Flush the Magento cache and you are good to go
```
php bin/magento cache:flush
```

kindly Accept as a Solution if this works for you and give kudos

Hello Amitsamsukha,

Thanks very much for your reply and your help. I followed your instructions carefully for the first store: https://store24.slovenly.com/world/ (will this URL structure also work?)

(Note for any other beginners trying to follow his instructions: before creating the symlinks, you need to cd into the new folder you create)

So far, after flushing the magento cache, I am still not able to load https://store24.slovenly.com/world/

Any idea if I could be missing a step somehow?

best, Peter

amitsamsukha · ‎12-21-2020

you have to point to Magento's pub folder for https://store24.slovenly.com/

then Flush the cache

php bin/magento cache:flush

Hmm, I followed those instructions, but it still did not work.

What's strange is that in my previous instance of Magento (2.2.5) I have this configuration:

https://snipboard.io/VqlJg3.jpg

So I've entered the same for 2.4:

https://snipboard.io/ayvJHc.jpg

What is different is that the Default Config in 2.4 is different:

https://snipboard.io/lw9Era.jpg

...and if I change the Base URLs for Static & Media files, the icons in the admin backend no longer appear.

So maybe I have the wrong path somehow?
