Question

I know this question may have been previously asked but I followed many reference links, but I cannot do this thing so please help me achieve it.
base URL = http://127.0.0.1/magento22/

1) Create a site in Magento with 4 languages

Deutschland (German)
Francais (French)
Nederland (Dutch)
Switzerland (Swiss)

2) Change code in index.php

<?php
/**
 * Application entry point
 *
 * Example - run a particular store or website:
 * --------------------------------------------
 * require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
 * $params = $_SERVER;
 * $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'website2';
 * $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';
 * $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
 * \/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app *\/
 * $app = $bootstrap->createApplication(\Magento\Framework\App\Http::class);
 * $bootstrap->run($app);

try {
    require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo <<<HTML
<div style="font:12px/1.35em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
    <div style="margin:0 0 25px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;">
        <h3 style="margin:0;font-size:1.7em;font-weight:normal;text-transform:none;text-align:left;color:#2f2f2f;">
        Autoload error</h3>
    </div>
    <p>{$e->getMessage()}</p>
</div>
HTML;
    exit(1);
}
$params = $_SERVER;
$actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
switch ($actual_link) 
{
    case 'http://127.0.0.1/magento22/deutschland/':
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'deutschland'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
        break; 
    case 'http://127.0.0.1/magento22/france/':
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'france'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
         echo "11";
        break; 
    case 'http://127.0.0.1/magento22/nederland/':
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'nederland'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
        break; 
    case 'http://127.0.0.1/magento22/switzerland/':
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'switzerland'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
        break; 
    case 'http://127.0.0.1/magento22/':
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'base'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
        break;     
    default: 
        $params = $_SERVER;
        break; 

}

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

Solution

Created multi website in magento, Steps to create a multistore in admin panel is same as like in magento1.x. Don't forget to change the base url and secure url for new website/store. Once made changes in admin panel follow the below steps,

1) Create a new folder in magento root and copy the index.php and .htaccess files from magento root to new folder.

2) Edit the index.php which is in new folder

Replace:

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

/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app */

$app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http');

$bootstrap->run($app);

With:

 $params = $_SERVER;

 $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'newstore'; //Webite code as same in admin panel

 $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';

 $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);

 /** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app */

 $app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http');

 $bootstrap->run($app);

And also update bootstrap.php include path as below,

Replace:

require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';

With:

require __DIR__ . '/../app/bootstrap.php';

3) Create a simlinks inside the new folder

 ln -s /home/example/example.com/html/app/ app 

 ln -s /home/example/example.com/html/lib/ lib 

 ln -s /home/example/example.com/html/pub/ pub 

 ln -s /home/example/example.com/html/var/ var

Refer this

Please clear the var/generation,var/cache and pub/static files and do the static content deployment.

Final Step:-store->configuration->general->web->select store view and add base URL for Each Store

OTHER TIPS

If The Server Is NGINX then Follow Below Steps.

Here is the scenario. We have two different websites, and each website has two different store views as follows:

Website 1

Website 1 (E-commerce)
Website 1 (Venda Assistida)

Website 2

Website 2 (E-commerce)
Website 2 (Venda Assistida)

In my solution, we are going to change some configuration in Magento Admin. Then we are going to create some sub-folders, and finally we are going to modify nginx.conf.

First of all, we need to make some configuration change in the Magento Admin. Go to Stores -> Configuration -> General -> Web. We need to change Base URLs for each store view.

For Default Config Please provide the following configuration for default config.

For Website 1 (E-commerce) and Website 1 (Venda Assistida)

Please provide the following configuration for all Website 1 store views.

For Website 2 (E-commerce) and Website 2 (Venda Assistida)

Please provide the following configuration for all Website 2 store views.

Secondly, we need to create website1 and website2 folders in the /pub directory. In the final, you should have the following folders:

MAGENTO_ROOT/pub/website1
MAGENTO_ROOT/pub/website2

Copy the pub/index.php file into these directories. Then we will make some changes in MAGENTO_ROOT/pub/website1/index.php and MAGENTO_ROOT/pub/website2/index.php.

Content of MAGENTO_ROOT/pub/website1/index.php I have only changed 3 lines:

1st Line: require __DIR__ . '/../../app/bootstrap.php';

2nd Line: $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'website1';

3rd Line: $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';

use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList;

try {
    require __DIR__ . '/../../app/bootstrap.php';
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo <<<HTML
<div style="font:12px/1.35em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
    <div style="margin:0 0 25px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;">
        <h3 style="margin:0;font-size:1.7em;font-weight:normal;text-transform:none;text-align:left;color:#2f2f2f;">
        Autoload error</h3>
    </div>
    <p>{$e->getMessage()}</p>
</div>
HTML;
    exit(1);
}

$params = $_SERVER;
$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'website1';
$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';
$params[Bootstrap::INIT_PARAM_FILESYSTEM_DIR_PATHS] = [
    DirectoryList::PUB => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => ''],
    DirectoryList::MEDIA => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'media'],
    DirectoryList::STATIC_VIEW => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'static'],
    DirectoryList::UPLOAD => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'media/upload'],
];

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

For the final touch, we need to modify nginx.conf in your MAGENTO_ROOT directory. Please put the following configuration into your nginx.conf.

location /website1 {
    root /website1;
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /website1/index.php last;
        break;
    }
}

location /website2 {
    root /website2;
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /website2/index.php last;
        break;
    }
}

After all this configurations and modifications, you will be able to use websites as sub-folders.

Check with below code

<?php
/**
 * Application entry point
 *
 * Example - run a particular store or website:
 * --------------------------------------------
 * require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
 * $params = $_SERVER;

 * $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';
 * $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
 * \/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app *\/
