Issue moving domain to new website

Question

Magento 1.9.3.10

I thought I'd done everything correctly, but something isn't working.

All I want to do is move the domain I used on a staging Magento to a Live Magento.

I created the new Website/Store View and categories in the Live Magento, enabled it and disabled the Store View in the Staging Magento.

I removed the DNS I thought I'd put in to point the domain at the Staging Magento.

I then added the domain name into the System > Config > General > Web > Un/Secure fields in the Live Magento, did a full re-index and Cache dump.

I'm getting "The web page at ****** might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."

What have I missed?

Answer 1

You have to update the index.php and .htaccess

index.php

You add the bellow code before Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);

/*Websites redirects*/
switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
    case 'yourdomaine1.com':
    case 'www.yourdomaine1.com':
        $mageRunCode = 'your_website_code_of_domaine1';
        $mageRunType = 'website';
    break;
    case 'yourdomaine2.com': 
    case 'www.yourdomaine2.com': 
        $mageRunCode = 'your_website_code_of_domaine2';
        $mageRunType = 'website';
    break;
}

.htaccess

## SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE store
SetEnvIf Host yourdomaine1\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=your_website_code_of_domaine1
SetEnvIf Host www\.yourdomaine1\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=your_website_code_of_domaine1
SetEnvIf Host yourdomaine2\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=your_website_code_of_domaine2
SetEnvIf Host www\.yourdomaine2\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=your_website_code_of_domaine2

Don't forget to set the base url for each website in admin website scope, clean the cache after.

Answer 2

After a lot of digging I finally got it up and running. I ended up using the following code in the .htaccess file

## SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE store ##
SetEnvIf Host .*my_domain1.* MAGE_RUN_CODE=website_code_for_my_domain1
SetEnvIf Host .*my_domain1.* MAGE_RUN_TYPE=website
