How to Install & Upgrade the Osclass Classifieds Script
A step-by-step guide to launching and maintaining your marketplace website.
Step 1: Start the Web Installer
After uploading the Osclass files to your hosting server, navigate to your website's URL in a browser. This will automatically trigger the installation prompt.
Click the button to begin the guided setup process for your new classifieds website.
Step 2: System Requirements Check
The installer will automatically check if your server environment meets all the necessary requirements. If any checks fail, you'll need to contact your hosting provider to enable the missing extensions.
Minimum Server Requirements:
✅ PHP version 7.2 or higher
✅ MySQL Database (Version 5.7+)
✅ MySQLi extension for PHP
✅ GD extension for PHP (for image processing)
✅ ImageMagick (Optional, for better image quality)
Step 3: Connect to Your Database
Enter the connection details for your MySQL database. You'll need to create an empty database in your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.) first. Then, provide the database name, username, and password here.
Step 4: Configure Website & Admin Account
Set up the main details for your classifieds site. You'll create your primary admin account (username and password) and define your website's public name and contact email address.
You can also import a location database for your country here to save time later.
Step 5: Installation Complete!
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Osclass. The final screen will provide links to your new website and your admin login page (oc-admin).
Your classifieds platform is now live and ready to be configured.
