Thanks a lot for a very helpful reply. To my surprise, when I changed the SEF for the second store today as &#039;home&#039;, it gets worked. Now I can view the different CMS home page for the second store.
All your kind help with a screen shot is much appreciated. It also helped me get a clear picture and removed my confusion. I will keep you posted if I get further issues in Magento.
Thanks,
Jack</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>Thanks a lot for a very helpful reply.

You wrote:I assumed your meaning as “Go to the first home’s cms page, and set the status of the page as disable”.
If you want a homepage to show up on the front-end, it can not be disable. This one is pretty clear and self-explanatory so your second assumption was the right direction, however I can understand why you got it confused because my instruction in the last paragraph may not be clear enough. I updated it.
As for this: &quot;System-Configuration- Current Configuration Scope, I selected Furniture Store-English, then selected Web Tab. In Accordian, Default pages, I unchecked “Use website” CMS home page checkbox, and selected Furniture Home Page.&quot;
In order to select this option, the homepage needs to be setup first and name the SEF URL identifier something else other than &quot;home&quot; as &quot;home&quot; is default.
I hope this &lt;a href=&quot;http://lotusseedsdesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/homepage.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;screen shot&lt;/a&gt; helps solves your problem, if still not, perhaps you didn&#039;t have your furniture store setup properly, e.g. Is the theme for this store setup yet?  Are you able to see other pages for the furniture store? If you can&#039;t see them, then it&#039;s very likely you didn&#039;t have your furniture store setup yet.  You can find tutorials for setting up second store from google search  or purchase a Magento User Guide from magento website.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t know what goes wrong as it appears to be correct setting.</p><p>You wrote:I assumed your meaning as “Go to the first home’s cms page, and set the status of the page as disable”.</p><p>If you want a homepage to show up on the front-end, it can not be disable.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.lotusseedsdesign.com/blog/?p=575#comment-247</guid> <description>Hi,
Thanks for your reply. First thing I want to share is that I am totally new to Magento.
I explain you how I am following the procedure and where I am going wrong:
1. I have only one website created in admin panel(Main website).
There are 2 stores and their respective storeview:
Store Name                                         Store View Name
Furniture Store                                    	English
Main Website Store                                   Default Store View
The main website store was already their in the default installation. I created the other store &quot;Furniture Store&quot;
2. In CMS - Manage Pages-Add new page, I created the other home page for Furniture Store in the following way:
Page Title -  Furniture Home Page
SEF URL identifier - home
Store View - English
Status - Enabled
Content - Home page for Furniture
Saved the above page.
When I tried to access the home page, the page could not be loaded. As per your further instruction after step 3 that is &quot;Now go to the first home’s cms page, dis-select the above theme from the Store View.&quot;, I assumed your meaning as &quot;Go to the first home&#039;s cms page, and set the status of the page as disable&quot;. But again the page could not be loaded.
I further assumed your meaning as &quot;select different store view for the first cms home page, but it was already different as it was Default Store View.&quot;
The reason might be the SEF URL identifier for both the stores is Home.
But when I tried to change the SEF URL identifier as &quot;FurnitureHome&quot;, the page gets loaded but again with the warning &quot;There was no Home CMS page configured or found.&quot;
Please let me know where I am going wrong in above steps.
3. Again, as per your second step which is bracket(note: you can name it something else.........), I have done the following settings:
System-Configuration- Current Configuration Scope, I selected Furniture Store-English, then selected Web Tab. In Accordian, Default pages, I unchecked &quot;Use website&quot; CMS home page checkbox, and selected Furniture Home Page.
But again the page home page could not be found. When I reset the above settings, the page gets working.
Please let us know where I am doing wrong. I could not set the default home page for the other store.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>Thanks for your reply. First thing I want to share is that I am totally new to Magento.<br

I have tried the above steps but could set the different home page for the other store. If I implement the above steps, the page is not loaded.
The above steps seems to be ambiguious. Can you please explain the above steps in details.
Thanks,
