Just as feedback since this thread died without any real solution...
I gave up using a subdomain with www(dot)mydomain(dot)com after wasting too much time on it.

I ended up renaming the subdirectory so it didn't contain fullstops.  (Not what I prefer on my multisite server, but seemingly the easiest way out.)

My advice to others is DO NOT include fullstops in the subdirectory name.  You are just just asking for problems for yourself!

In one of my categories, I only have one product. 
How do I get a direct link to the product page from the categories navigation menu (and bypass the usual product category page)?

 
Maybe this is not an htaccess problem anymore??? 
The SEO names are working so it seems the htaccess file(s) are doing *something* ....., but I have found the following error message in my logs .... 


"2015-01-08 4:11:06 - App Warning:  AbanteCart core v.1.1.9 Warning: Accessing store with unconfigured or unknown domain ( mysite.com/www.mysite.com/ ).
 Check setting of your store domain URL in System Settings . Loading default store configuration for now. in /home/myhostname/public_html/www.mysite.com/core/lib/config.php on line 169"


It doesn't seem to matter what I type in the   System/Store URL   setting in admin.  It is getting ignored each time anyway.  Is there anywhere else where the URL is set? 

I am totally stuck.  Any ideas?

For directory organisation reasons, I naively placed my Abantecart site in a subdirectory named the same name as my domain (including fullstops).
ie: So the full website URL is now hxxp://www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/                  (nb: "http" is modified as forum didn't allow link format)

The site works completely, but I want to use the base domain only.   I thought I could get it to use the base domain by changing the site address in the admin settings, but it doesn't seem to redirect when entering the base domain URL in admin. 

I played with .htaccess, and finally I can now TYPE the base domain and get access to the site at that same URL ... -->hxxp://www.mysite.com (and get the URL to show the same in the browser).

BUT ..... once I click on the site logo, home, categories menu, etc, the browser retrieves the site and shows the URL from the subdirectory again
ie:
 -->hxxp://www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/   

I have wasted weeks on this now in playing with the htaccess code, but unfortunately I am no expert of htaccess and nothing seems to work.    
Could someone please help me?


My base directory .htaccess is this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/www\.mysite\.com/.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mysite\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \/www\.mysite\.com\/$1 [L]


I also have the following in the subdirectory htaccess file:

# SEO URL Settings
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L]


The site only works when both complete sets of htaccess code are used.  As soon as I delete any lines of either file, no redirections are possible.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi there....
I am currently formating my email enquiry form.

Could you please help me in finding the php for listing the various fields of the email enquiries page  (ie: content/contact page)?

Also, what is the css file for ContactUsFrm_email, form_description, etc?

Thanks in advance.
