Please help me on this.
How can i create mutiple stores in with a single installation of magento. It's not like what you are thinking.
Suppose my website is www.pstall.com, In the tech store it will be
tech.pstall.com or the flower shop it will be flower.pstall.com with
the help of sub domain. The shops order will be in their store's
admin. they will not share any data but they will share customer's
login. So that a customer can log in every store with same id and
pass. I will use a static page for the mother store. So that customer ca n easily visit the stores. The sub stores
will be children. The stores won;t share any data even admin. Just
customer information and login.
Please help me how can i do that. Thanks in advance
Try this..
Creating multiple store in a single website
You can do it in several ways:
create many websites
create many stores on one website (then you will have store switcher)
create many store views (then you will have Language switcher)
you don't have any restrictions here, but just need to set Base Url for each website/store/store view.
I would like to recommend you a #1 way and create websites. as later you maybe would like to show some of sites in 2 languages
here I did the same:
http://innativelife.com/
http://body.innativelife.com/
http://soul.innativelife.com/
and also some store can have dedicated domain
http://www.rastrat.net/
but will be placed on same admin
the only issue is that Magento CE not support admin separation per store. which mean - each admin will see data from all stores. But I know how to resolve it ;)
In Magento Multistore are created with
--one website and many stores or
--Multiple websites with each having one or more then one store.
Setup will depend on what all you want to share and what you do not want to share.
Domains can be subdomains(store1.site.com) or same domain(site.com/store1) or totally different individual domains.
To share customer across stores you need to create one website but mulitple stores within that website.

I am using latest magento 1.7.0.2.
I have two different stores in my site.
customer from first store should not be able to login to second store.
So,Want to set up store wise login for customers.How to set ?please help.
Unfortunately Magento only allows you to set "customer sharing" across the global and website scopes. The (maybe not so simple) solution would be to move your other store to a separate website instead of a separate store.
Found in System > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration:
In magento I am having 3 websites and it contains 6 to 7 store views. I want as a single admin has to access single store products only. He should not modify the products in another stores. How can I do this?
I have read in magneto documentation as to create new admin in system/permissions/roles and modify there. But trying with this, the new admin is restricted to only creating of products or for dashboard or for shippings or for tax module only. But I need like the new admin has to be accessed to only one store only..
So how can I do this??
I know this is a little late reply but anyone who is interested, answer from mprototype is perfectly valid as long as you/your client uses a Magento Enterprise edition. Checked in versions 1.12 and above.
When you goto :
System -> Permissions -> Roles
While defining the role you can choose custom scope and checkbox the stores you want then to have access to.
I don't know if I am late but any of these will do what you are looking for. In fact, it will provide even more flexibility.

Happy Coding !!!
One of the great features of Magento is the ability to have several domains but with the ability to have the shopping cart contents consistent across each website. Thus reducing the need for customers to repeat the checkout process for each domain.
My question is how is this achieved from a programmer's point of view? How is the session/cookie/whatever it is able to work across different domains?
Thank you
From what I understand they put a little bit of code on the end of the URL when you jump from domain to domain telling you what your session ID is so that it can copy the information over to the new cookie that you are using.
I would like to have my magento install respond to two different domains, e.g.
a.mydomain.com and
b.anotherdomain.com
I need magento to respond with the same store, showing the same customers, the same catalog, same prices, etc.
The difference, of course, is that when the store is accessed through a.mydomain.com all the links and urls should use this domain as baseurl, and when it is accessed through b.anotherdomain.com all links and urls should use b.anotherdomain.com as baseurl.
Is there any way to do so? All the documentation I've found so far deal with having different stores on the same magento instance, while what I need here is to have the same store respond to two different URLs.
Thank you!
Everything I know of Magento says it was designed to prevent exactly this from happening so as not to be penalised by search engines for duplicate content.
You can, however, have multiple stores that share customers and catalog and products and prices and so on, but represent a separate domain each. In System > Manage Stores add several Stores for a single website and use the same root category for them all. Then in System > Configuration > Web assign the various domains.
easy enough, just set them both to use the same store code (or just default)
have a look in index.php
you can set the $mageRunCode to be whatever you want, you don't have to use the server environment variables method they have there, look at earlier versions of Magento to see the index.php file there.

I am having a weird situation. I worked on a magneto ecommerce website. My friends and I can see the products on the website, but only my client can't see any of them.
I suspected magento cache, so I refreshed and disabled all the caches. My client still can't see all the products. I made him to clear browser cache. It didn't work as well. I also let him use FF or Safari. He still can't see the products.
What is the problem??? I can't try any other things now...
In addition to checking multiple websites, are you logged in or do you have a specific customer group? Magento allows you to show products only to certain customers. Check to make sure that as a logged-out, anonymous user, you can see the products.
Hope that helps,

Have you configured multiple stores, websites or store views in your Magento instance? Whether or not Magento displays a product depends on a lot of settings, but if one user can, and another user cannot see them, it's most likely related to which store view they are accessing.
The store view Magento is showing isn't always determined by the URL alone, there is also a setting which is stored in the cookie and can be changed via a dropdown (in the default templates anyway).
Stores are configured via System > Manage Stores. If you have multiple rows in there you have multiple store views (or websites or stores).
