Stratus Guides - Multistore Subfolder Configuration Method

1. Create the desired folder within the /pub/ directory in your root directory (for this example, we will use “en”). mkdir /srv/public_html/pub/en

2. Create the required symlinks within the new folder. Make sure they are absolute to prevent any issues with [autoscaling](/docs/reference/stratus/control-panels/autoscaling/ “Autoscaling control panel”/). For example:

   cd /srv/public_html/pub/en ln -s /srv/public_html/app app

Once completed, the `/en` directory should appear like this:

	lrwxrwxrwx  1 www www 10 Mar 23 14:07 app -> /srv/public_html/app/
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 www www 19 Mar 23 14:08 index.php -> /srv/public_html/pub/index.php
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 www www 10 Mar 23 14:08 lib -> /srv/public_html/lib/
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 www www 27 Mar 23 17:13 media -> /srv/public_html/pub/media/
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 www www 28 Mar 23 17:13 static -> /srv/public_html/pub/static/
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 www www 10 Mar 23 14:08 var -> /srv/public_html/var/

3. Add the following code to the [Nginx includes](/docs/reference/stratus/control-panels/nginx-panel/includes/ “Nginx Includes control panel”/). Adjust the subfolder name, “/en”, in each occurence (7) to the actual subfolder you prefer, and the store code, “en_store_view”, in the one occurence.

`location /en/ { index index.php index.html index.htm; try_files $uri $uri/ /en/index.php?$args ; location ~* .php$ { expires off; fastcgi_pass php-fpm; fastcgi_keep_conn on; fastcgi_buffer_size 128k; fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;

	include fastcgi_params;
	fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
	fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE "en_store_view";
	fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE "store";
	fastcgi_param UNIQUE_ID $connection.$connection_requests;
	fastcgi_param HTTPS $http_x_ssl_offloaded if_not_empty;

	}

	location ~ ^/en/static/version {
	        rewrite ^/en/static/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /en/static/$2 last;
	    }

	location /en/media/ {
	    try_files $uri $uri/ /get.php$is_args$args;

	    location ~ ^/en/media/theme_customization/.*\.xml {
	        deny all;
	    }

	    location ~* \.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|js|css|swf|eot|ttf|otf|woff|woff2)$ {
	        add_header Cache-Control "public";
	        add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
	        expires +1y;
	        try_files $uri $uri/ /get.php$is_args$args;
	    }
	    location ~* \.(zip|gz|gzip|bz2|csv|xml)$ {
	        add_header Cache-Control "no-store";
	        add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
	        expires    off;
	        try_files $uri $uri/ /get.php$is_args$args;
	    }
	    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
	}

	}
