I'm assuming you are tying to have 2 stores on the single domain. If this assumption is right, you are not going to need to have anything done at the server setup level, except a properly working Apache!

Since you are creating 2 stores, I'll take the liberty to assume that you already have the root category for second store (you can share the existing root category between stores as well) and created the 2nd store from admin as well.

Now, you'll need to set the base URLs for your second store from System -> Configuration -> General -> Web. Be careful to set those URLs at the store level only. You'll also need to modify the entries below that for original location of JS/CSS/Media files.

Now, create a folder like "store2" on the magento installation root, and copy the .htaccess and index.php files from original Magento installation. Then edit .htaccess file and locate RewriteBase in there, put the path to your folder after that and un-comment that line.

In your index.php file, locate define('MAGENTO_ROOT', getcwd()); and convert it to define('MAGENTO_ROOT', '..');

This is all what is needed to have the second store. In some cases, you may need to add MAGE_RUN_CODE environment variable also in your .htaccess file, it's value will be your store code.

Having a new store requires Magento indexes to be re-built, so don't forget to do that afterwards.

all you need is just to configure your second store by selecting store view in dropdown menu on the left top side in magento admin. there you will be able to setup all paths and even theme package name. then you add to your .htaccess file your store code for this specific path. and thats it. no need to create anything else, no mess with extra folders and index.php

but i highly recommend to use subdomains, just point it from cpanel to the same webroot as your main store add store code to .htaccess and thats it.

the most important is base url in configuration => web
