magento 2 multiple store views with sub domain url

Question

I am trying to have two different store views with different themes but has the same catalog and settings.

default store view: website.co.uk second store view should have: migrate.website.co.uk

Both the store views share the same website and store. it is only the front end which changes.

I have created a sub domain of the main domain I have copied .htaccess and index.php from website.co.uk to migrate.website.co.uk and modified index.php file as below:

<?php
$params = $_SERVER;
$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'migrate';
$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'store';
$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
$app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http');
$bootstrap->run($app);
?>

replacing

$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app */
$app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http');
$bootstrap->run($app);

.

I have also added two lines at the start of htaccess file:

SetEnvIf Host .migrate.website.co.uk. MAGE_RUN_CODE=migrate SetEnvIf Host .migrate.website.co.uk. MAGE_RUN_TYPE=store

when check the migrate.website.co.uk it shows me a blank page with 500 error. what is wrong in the code?

do you mean I still need to copy both index.php and .htaccess into subdomain directory and configure the virtual host's file? I am using plesk and have created the subdomain, my virtual hosts file looks like below: I have two files under my sites-available: 000-default.conf default-ssl.conf i will have to edit both default and ssl conf files. port 7080 and 7081. what if i am using website.co.uk/newweb/ as my second store by creating a new folder under magento root. can i just place the environment variables on htaccess file on website.co.uk ? like below: SetEnvIf Host .*newstore.* MAGE_RUN_COD — Sean

I wouldn't recommend modifying the index.php.

This is a core file, meaning it'll simply get overwritten the next time you update Magento.

Since you're using .htaccess files I'm assuming you run apache.

In that case, you can use a virtual host configuration to share the website's files in the same directory:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName          website.co.uk
    ServerAlias         "www.website.co.uk"
    DocumentRoot        /path/to/your/magento2/
    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_CODE "default"
    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE "store"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName          migrate.website.co.uk
    DocumentRoot        /path/to/your/magento2/
    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_CODE "migrate"
    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE "store"
</VirtualHost>

I used the following solution to separate the domain with different stores and websites.

Step 1: Please add below code to <magento_root>/app/etc/env.php file

'website_configuration' => [
    [
        'domain' => 'website.co.uk',
        'run_code' => 'base',
        'run_type' => 'website'
    ],
    [
        'domain' => 'migrate.website.co.uk',
        'run_code' => 'store1',
        'run_type' => 'store'
    ]
],

Step 2: Update <magento_root>/pub/index.php file

$prebootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

// Setup multi-store urls
$params = $_SERVER;

$objectManager = $prebootstrap->getObjectManager();
// Get website configurations from env.php
$deploymentConfig = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\DeploymentConfig');
$websiteConfiguration = $deploymentConfig->get('website_configuration');

foreach ($websiteConfiguration as $website) {
    if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] === $website['domain']) {
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = $website['run_code'];
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = $website['run_type'];
    }
}
// End Setup multi-store urls
$bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);

Step 3: Update <magento_root>/pub/get.php file

$prebootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

// Materialize file in application
$params = $_SERVER;
// Setup multi-store urls
$objectManager = $prebootstrap->getObjectManager();
// Get website configurations from env.php
$deploymentConfig = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\DeploymentConfig');
$websiteConfiguration = $deploymentConfig->get('website_configuration');

foreach ($websiteConfiguration as $website) {
    if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] === $website['domain']) {
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = $website['run_code'];
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = $website['run_type'];
    }
}

if (empty($mediaDirectory)) {
    $params[ObjectManagerFactory::INIT_PARAM_DEPLOYMENT_CONFIG] = [];
    $params[Factory::PARAM_CACHE_FORCED_OPTIONS] = ['frontend_options' => ['disable_save' => true]];
}
$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
// End Setup multi-store URLs

Step 4: Update base URL from admin > Stores > Configurations > Choose website or Store Scope > General > Web > Base URLs > Base URL

Step 5: Change the Base URL and save the configuration.

Step 6: Clear the cache.

I used the above solution on my dev setup and Live site, it works for me.

Please apply this solution if it works for you!

Thank you!!!
