Here is very brief guide: First create the stores. This is all done via the Magento administration. System->Manage Stores foreach store that you want, create a website, store and store view. Make a note of the codes as you need those in the code below.

This is post is now quite old and the the information it contains may be out of date or innacurate. If you find any errors or have any suggestions to update the information please let us know or create a pull request on GitHub I’m currently working on a project that has some really heavy javascript requirements. For the project I decided on using jQuery to implement the required functionality. Now having only used jQuery for a few days I have to say I’m impressed with how easy and intuitive it is.

If you get an error message like this: Fatal error: Call to a member function getDbVersion() on a non-object in /var/www/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Setup.php on line 136 Then it looks like your app/etc/config.xml file has been corrupted somehow. Restore this file from a backup or otherwise replace it and hopefully you should be back in business.
