Hello. It is not necessary to rename 'default'. It is visible only for admin user.
If you want to create several separate shops with one admin front then You need to set up multistores correctly see Multistore manual

Hi.
Did you configure second domain (or subdomain) in your hosting panel?

[gordontaylor]

Exactly, the new store must be on a sub domain, not just in a folder....

[kees]

so why must the second shop be a subdomain

while the first one is just a file in a directory ?

[llegrand]

you have to be able to instruct your new-domain  or your subdomain to the Document Root location which is where you have your default store installed.

You can only do that from a subdomain or another domain.  Here's a screen shot of a subdomain setup.  Note: both
Document Roots point to the same location for both subdomains.

thanks for the answer,

but it is not clear

if i make a subdomain like boekwinkel.antiex.nl

i do not have the wanted url, i want antiex.nl/boekwinkel

just like the first "default"  shop, that is antiex.nl/winkel

Kees, it won't work that way, sorry. The core is set up for the sub-domain...I know a sub.domain is merely a folder, but the php is looking for the sub-domain. It's necessary to set it up that way to keep the hooks from conflicting.
