Thank you for your suggestions.
I made the changes to absolute paths in the urls. But it looks like I am just using the same page as the default store.
How do I get it to not have the same first page as the main store?
Thanks.
have you created the root category for shoestore? like a default root? and select it under manage store configuration?
it seems that the store it’s OK but it has the same root category of the default store
There is a brief reference to this in the video.
You need to go to Configuration, select your website, go to the Web tab and click on the accordion bar that says “Default URLs”.
You need to uncheck “default” for CMS Home page and select another page for your homepage.
I assume that you have not created another homepage, however. To do this, go to CMS - Manage Pages and Add New Page. You can cut and paste form one of the existing pages to get started.
Once you have saved the new page, it will be available in the dropdown in Configuration - Web - Default URLs.
Hello seDev
but if home page is missing for the second store… you will see an home page that says There was no Home CMS page configured or found.
agcilantro has 2 store with the same view
Yes, I was wondering about that as well. If I have set up the same as the video I should have the message that no home page is found, but instead I have the same home page as the default store.
I will take another look at the first screencast to see if I have followed them correctly. I do believe that I did, but I was unclear about the path mage configuration in the index.php file, as well as changing the default to shoestore and website in the second line.
My intention is to create 4 different stores, consumer, retail, wholesale and private label. Each would have their own pricing, but some of the products would be unique to some of the stores, while others would be shared between the stores, same inventory source but different prices.
Again, thanks for your help, I think this is a very powerful e-commerce solution, but it is a little tough for me to get my mind around it some of the configuration.
I installed magento about 5 or 6 times :-O
It is not simple understand all the first time, it is very very flexible but this means that you must consider it like a Lego.
I think that the power is the big feature, but we must have many patience to learn every little thing to do.
For your store, have you created on CMS -> manage pages an home page for the second store?
You must add a page, give to it a unique name, then you must to go back another time under CONFIGURATION, from drop-down menu select the WEBSITE you set, select WEB and in the middle of this page you have DEFAULT URLS, under this you have CMS Home Page here you must set the home page of the second shop and eventually an error personalized page.
take a look to my stores under the same magento installation

Hey Agcilantro,
In the newest version of Magento, you can actually set different pricing per customer category.
First, create multiple customer groups in the Customers -> Customer Groups. You would probably want to create, Consumer, Retail, and Whole sale… and you might probably want to put Private Label if you wanted to… I think you are selling apparel or custom made stuff i assume?
After you have created that, edit your product item, under Product Info, click on Prices. There you have Tier Prices… from there, you can add different prices for different quantities… and make the price drop when say they order 100 or more t-shirts or something.
Anyhow, you can play around with that, it works pretty well. And only customers logged in as their respective customer group will be able to see their pricing.
Thanks Pcarve. I have done just that, actually. I have 4 websites set up, sharing some inventory items among 3 of the websites, and have set different pricing per store. As long as I keep the global customer configuration as “per website” instead of “global”, each customer group can only access their own web site, and only see their pricing. If I configure global customer account configuration as global, each group can access all of the stores, but still can only see their pricing.
I have found that the tier pricing needs to be set to “all websites” instead of for the individual site, or else if I make any edits of the individual web site pricing it knocks out all of the tier pricing.

This happens if you make any edit at all of an individual website product, not just in the pricing screen.
Edit a product > select individual website > save > tiered pricing disappears for everything but that store.
I noticed some posting about being able to do multiple prices. I want to create multiple sites that for each store pick their products and their price for a product. From reading post etc. it seems that price is a global attribute. But is there a way to have a price for a product for each store. This is is on a customer basis but rater a store basis.
