Unzip The Oempro Package

All packages are available for download in ZIP format in the client area. You will need unzip application to unzip the downloaded package.

Most recent operating systems (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, etc.) comes with a built-in unzip tool.

• Create a directory on your computer and move the downloaded ZIP file inside this directory
• Unzip the ZIP package inside the directory

Upload Oempro Files To Your Server

Now, you need to decide where to install Oempro on your web site. It can be one of the following:

• sub-directory (http://yoursite.com/oempro/)
• root directory (http://yoursite.com/)
• sub-domain (http://oempro.yoursite.com/)

Once you decide the location, open your FTP client and upload all Oempro files and directories to the location on your server. This process may take a while depending on your internet connection speed.

Upload the license.key to your [install_path]/data directory.

Setup Directory And File Permissions

Once upload process is completed, you will need to change file and directory permissions for the following:

• [install_path]/data (including all directories and files inside this directory)

This can be done via your FTP client by setting up directory and file permissions to 0777. If you prefer SSH, just execute the following command on your SSH Terminal:

chmod -R 0777 /path/to/oempro/data

Prepare The MySQL Database

Oempro needs a MySQL database to store its data such as users, campaigns and subscribers. You can either use your existing MySQL database or create a dedicated MySQL database for Oempro on your server.

Oempro database tables are prefixed with "oempro_". Therefore, there will be no chance to conflict with any other existing table in your database.

Oempro is not compatible with STRICT_MODE MySQL configuration. This option is disabled by default on MySQL servers but it might have been enabled for your server. If it is enabled, simply contact your server administrator or edit MySQL configuration file to remove STRICT_MODE from sql_mode parameter in MySQL configuration file

Run The Web Based Installation Utility

It's assumed that Oempro is being installed on http://yourdomain.com/oempro/ address. Please change it according to your own uploaded directory and URL.
