Upgrading from a previous version of osCMax
- Upgrades - See this page to upgrade an existing site
Installing osCMax v2.0.4, 2.0.15 and v2.0.25
Installation is no different than installing stock osCommerce MS2. It is a simple matter up uploading, unzipping, or un-taring the osCommerce archive on your server, moving the files where you want them, and running the installation script.
The installation script is a fairly easy process, but there is a lot of user input that is needed. You will need to know the following information:
- Server root path
- Document root
- MySql Database name, username and password
Now that you have the above information handy, you can install osCMax using whatever below method you like:
Linux/Unix
- Installing via cPanel - Alternative method
Windows/Apache
- Remote installation
Windows/IIS
- Local installation
- Remote installation
osCMax v2.0.15 is supplied with the catalog level .htaccess and two configure.php files suffixed by .new
This has been done to prevent the overwriting of any pre-existing files. On some server environments, it may be necessary to rename these files prior to running the install script, as indicated below:
catalog/.htaccess.new→catalog/.htaccess
catalog/includes/configure.php.new→catalog/includes/configure.php
catalog/admin/includes/configure.php.new→catalog/admin/includes/configure.php
- Remember to set the permission on these two config.php files to 666
- Run/complete the installation
- Change permissions to 444.
