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

Windows/Apache

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.
