Guest Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 If I want to set up a second store and even a third, can I just copy the files from store # 1 so i dont have to spend the many hours tweaking the files? I tried doing this but everything references the url for store # 1. Is there an easy solution? Thanks. Joe PS: Each store will have its own domain and Sql database.

Guest Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Copy all the files, change /catalog/includes/configure.php and catalog/admin/includes/configure.php to match up the new / correct file paths, and I would image that would get you started (in theory). This should keep all settings intact. I recently did a move from /root/catalog to /root and thats all I had to do. Good luck! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozEworks Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 does that cover the database too? also to add to this question, can you have two stores working of the same database as in having two demos and just one database?

Jeff <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Jeff, I found that I also have to change the lanuguage/englis.php as well. Dreamweaver worked well in doing a find and replace. So I can find page titles, web address etc in the first store and simply plug in the data for the second store and it changes the files and tells me what files i need to upload. Worked like a dream. Thanks again. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I went to delete the categories that did not exist on store two, i realized I deleted them from store one. So they were both working off of one database. This happened by accident but its a good idea. Thank god for back ups and the fact that I actually did one yesterday. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
