You have to setup a node in the content section to respond to a specific hostname. (right click and manage hostnames). It could be a root node or a childnode anywhere in the tree. In the commerce section you configure each individual store to repsond to a host name.

I guess you would have to configure a hostname for your mainsite also if you have problems with multiple hostnames.

I hope that helps.

Morten,

Thank you for your reply. So if I understand what you are saying I need to have www.myumbraco.com as my main site and shop.myumbraco.com as my ucommerce shop site or some variation there of. If that is correct then they are 2 different sites and i would think at that point they are cross domain. When i do that IIS fails to let the site work because it is not setup as it's own seperate site. What I am trying to do is essentially no different than you see on the Umbraco.com site itself. I am trying to have my main site exist with the shop as a link off of it such as www.myumbracosite.com/shop/   Having them be seperate host names does not allow this. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this if it is even possible?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Mike

You should be able to point your hostname to a node sitting deeper in the structure by matching the URL structure of it.

www.myumbracosite.com/shop/ is doable.

Soren,

thank you for your reply. I tried that and when i did that the left nav, the homepage catalog and the basket no longer work. I get the following 3 errors when loading the main page for the shop.

Error loading MacroEngine script (file: uCommerce/LeftNavigation.cshtml)

Error loading MacroEngine script (file: uCommerce/HomepageCatalog.cshtml) 

Error loading MacroEngine script (file: uCommerce/MiniBasket.cshtml)  

Michael,

Can you be a little more specific ? Can you attach the UmbDebugShowTrace=True to the querystring so we can debug it :) Make sure UmbracoDebugMode is set to true in the web.config.

Morten,

Here is the Trace. Thank you.

Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1008

I Guess the issue is pointing towards the setup in uCommerce. According to this error, you haven't configured your store to run on the hostname below. Can you verify that? Take a look at your store configuration under commerce and see what hostname is configured. 

Error Loading Razor Script (file: uCommerce LeftNavigation) No product catalog group supporting the url "http://mikesumbracosite.com:80/shop.aspx?UmbDebugShowTrace=True" found.    at 

Hope that helps.

Morten,

I verified that it was set I even went so far as to add the port number which appeared to work for a min but apparently was not because the issue still persists. The only way it works for me is if i leave it set to default. Beyond that I have another issue that is what started me looking at the Host name in the first place. Whenever I select one of the items from the HomePageCatalog or the left navigation i get a 404 error. I tried to trace it but get nothing.

Update--

I figured out what the issue was with the 404 errors. The original issue from this post still exists unless i leave the ucommerce setting to Default.

Care to elaborate on what you did to fix this :) ? 

You should be able to right click a node in your content tree and set a hostname for that. Once you've done that, you can select that domain name on the store to use as your hostname. 

Morten,

I did not fix it. As I stated in my last post that problem continues to exist. The problem that i fixed was the 404 errors i was getting when trying to select either the catalog or the products on the razorhomepage. The only way i can get the shop to NOT throw the error is to leave the Hostname setting at default.
