Seperating Multistore Into 2 Standalone Sites

[alloffus]

Hi,

I currently have two sites running on a multistore(site1 and site2), although I wish to move the site2 to a different admin of its own completely, separating the two sites. 

 

I have tried the following method: cloning my public html directory, rehosting it and making site2 the default store, then deleting site1. This did not work, as it still wouldn't let me assign the root domain to site2.

 

I was wondering if there is any known working method (if any) for separating a multistore, as this is extremely important due to crucial modules not faring too well with multistore compatibility.

 

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

 

Thanks!
