[SOLVED]

What do I have?

• A website: domain.com
• Prestashop installed in: prestashop.domain.com
• Multistore is enabled

What do I want?

• Multiple shops in subdomains like:
  • someshop.domain.com
  • anothershop.domain.com

What did I do before asking?

• Check and followed: Prestashop Docs for PS17: Setting a shop's URL
• Created multiple shop in prestashop.domain.com like:
  • someshop.domain.com
  • anothershop.domain.com
• This is the setting for someshop.domain.com :
  • 

What is the problem?

• someshop.domain.com does not show anything and it does not work

What is the technical issue?

• Web server does not know that where is someshop.domain.com and you need to tell your web server to point to specific route

How to solve this generally?

• You should find out how to set up subdomains in your web server.
• Then create a subdomain for each shop that belongs to multi stores list like:
  • someshop.domain.com
• Point the subdomain to Prestashop instance route. This means:
  • someshop.domain.com will always load prestashop.domain.com
  • But it does NOT redirect to prestashop.domain.com (This is key point)
• This pointing is meant to work like rewriting, NOT redirecting. Otherwise it does not work.

How to solve this in cPanel?

• Create a subdomain of someshop
• set Document Root to prestashop.domain.com

Hi everyone.
We have domain.com as the main domain which has lots of data in it.
We have prestashop.domain.com as a subdomain which is also a subfolder of root folder in the server public_html folder and contains prestashop installation core.
We want to have multiple shops with the help of prestashop multistore in this way:
someshop.domain.com & anothershop.domain.com which are multi stores of prestashop.domain.com
I have read enough about documents. I need experts to answer if it is possible or not. Because in the documents it says it is possible and it is done automatically by prestashop.
Check this : https://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS17/Setting+a+shop's+URL#space-menu-link-content
But it is not working for me anyway. I have been trying a lot in cpanel and other stuff. we dont want to redirect someshop.domain.com to prestashop.domain.com/someshop . We already know that this is possible and works. but it is not what we want.
