Magento

I am having a problem to view my second website

I followed the step by step from the video tutorial. Create new folder, copy index.php and .htaccess to the new folder, change require_once and mage::run
create second root category, create website, store, front that point to this root category. Change url base (secured and unsecured) to point to the new folder.

When I opened my second store, it said

Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

My magento is 1.1.6

Example setting
First store :  subdomain.domain.com
second store :  subdmain.domain.com/secondstore

I have the same problem.

Is anyone else getting this redirect error when they have a second website? I cannot figure out why this is redirecting. I’m assuming it has something to do with my apache settings but I’m not sure

Thanks

Yea - this problem got me too.... but the resolution is simple. 

It is caused by the database foreign key constraints.  To resolve the issue, backup the original database using the admin panel (system->tools->backups).  Use this file to restore the database.

The description of the process is at http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/restoring_a_backup_of_a_magento_database

I’d like to know this too, it just seem to happen to certain clients.

The backup restore is a different issue altoghether if I’m not imagining.

I am one of those clients on SimpleHelix that is having the issue with multiple websites. (simple helix has been good to work with on trying to resolve this)

Mike Silvers… what you are saying is that if we backup the database and then restore the database it will resolve this issue?

hey ddman

pm me, we found the solution.

SimpleHelix,

Any word yet on the fix or the issue?

For me what wored with multiple sites was the php.ini file.
I use Hostmonster, Magento is in a subdirectory. PHP5 Enabled. I was having error ; Failed loading Zend ; in the error logs. So I just placed a copy of php.ini in the magento subdirectory and in the multi store directory.

@simplehelix..  Is t possible to share your thoughts as to the possible culprit??

The redirect loop is caused from what you’re entering in the index.php file, see the following tutorial for specific instructions:

To vcre8ive, You have no idea how much you’ve help me.

Mentioning the copy of php.ini in the subfolder. fixed a whole session issue for me and allowed me to share carts between store.

Thanks!

<DELETED> SImpleHelix has fixed the situation.

I found the solution.

when you edit index.php make sure you entered corrent code for your store.

Mage::run(’code_your_new_store‘,’website’);

code_your_new_store to obtain code go to admin-> manage stores then click your web site so you will see CODE for your website get this code and place into index.php then you done.

I did it worked.
