Magento – Magento 2 Multi Store with Sub-domain for B2B

b2bmagento2multistore

I need to create a new store for my e-commerce (not a new website, not a new store front) for B2B.

Now, my e-commerce is active on mobiroloshop.com (B2C) and I want the new store on b2b.mobiroloshop.com.

I've followed several tutorials but still have problems. If I create an alias (parked domain) on cPanel for B2B, when I type b2b.mobiroloshop.com,

I'm redirected to mobiroloshop.com. I tried both to change .htaccess file (following step-by-step this tutorial https://www.cloudways.com/blog/create-and-configure-multistore-magento-2/) and to use a switch statement on my index.php (to switch B2B or B2C based on $_SERVER content).

Can someone please help me with this struggling issue?

My Magento store configuration.

I had the same problem. What's missing is the environment variable.

Add to your .htaccess file

SetEnvIf Host b2b\.mobiroloshop\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=b2b
SetEnvIf Host b2b\.mobiroloshop\.com MAGE_RUN_TYPE=store

If your server is Nginx, check: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/multi-site/ms_nginx.html

Be sure to set the default home page under Admin -> System -> Configuration -> Design -> Default Pages -> CMS Home Page. Change the Configuration Scope to each Store View and select the CMS pages that you've created for the home pages.

Edit:

Try this approach instead of .htaccess.

index.php

/* Store or website code */
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : '';

/* Run store or run website */
$mageRunType = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE'] : 'store';


// New code 

switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
    case 'www.dist.c*****ment.com ':
    case 'dist.c*****ment.com ':
        $mageRunCode = 'wholesale';
        $mageRunType = 'website';
    break;
}

// end of New code

Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);

Magento – Multi-Store with multi-domain and sub-directory Setup – Symlinks

one way to handle this would be

create a public folder into your magento root
inside that public folder you can create your subfolders us, nl
and inside of those subfolders you can clone index.php and .htaccess files and create symlinks to ../../skin, ../../errors, ../../media
at this point you can edit .htaccess freely and index.php freely to set your store scope and include the right resources and you can safely commit this to version control as you are not affecting any core files and can manage all configurations from one place.
optionally you can hide the whole magento root folder out of public_html folder on your server where domain is pointed and just symlink the folders (ln -s /path/to/public/us us/) to this destination
