Describe how to configure a multi-store in development environment

[hdsmachado]

Hi guys,

I wanna know if anyone could help me to solve my "issue". I've just cloned the nopCommerce source code repository for the very first time and I'm reading the documentation available to understand how the platform works.

I was interested to configure multi-store feature locally but I couldn't find any "official" documentation describing the whole process of configuring this feature, and I miss so much an especific topic on documentation dedicated to this. I think would be awesome to have a topic like this in the developer guide with a "FAQ" related.

In my search for answers, I found these two "Definitive Guide" from nopCommerce partners (from nop-templates and nopAdvance) and lots of old posts on nopCommerce Forum with the most different problems/solutions for multi-store configuration (e.g.: How can I test the multi-store in localhost IIS; How to config multi store localhost; How to setup multi store on localhost?; Multi-store on localhost; Setup Multi store in localhost; Multi-Store on localhost; Testing/debugging multi-store on localhost; Publish nopCommerce using IIS). So, from time to time someone post questions related to multi-store in development environment.

I've followed this two "definitive guide" step-by-step process but none of then worked here. I'm using Visual Studio 2022 but my IIS doesn't seems to work like those guides. It's not showing iisexpresstray and I can't see Nop Store Sites running. I also tried to add some IIS configution on Nop.Web launchSettings.json but none of then worked till now...

I guess if there was a topic explaining this whole configuration process as a really "step-by-step definitive guide" in the developer guide would be so much useful for people new to nopCommerce.

Thanks!
