I just added Ultimate Footer Ad to my blog, now I've added it into my public_html folder but when I go to myurl.com/ufa/install

It redirects to my blog outlining nothing found for that path..

The salesletter for UltimateFooterAd says it works for blogs, so obviously its something Im lacking understanding about hoe to egt it to work, or is the salesletter wrong, and I've just gotta refund it?

Cheers.

    Hey,

    Did you try putting .php at the end of install...

    I have never used their software, but from the looks of the product video, the destination URL, would be where you would put your blog, and a normal installation would happen on your server, just as if you were installing Wordpress...

        If your server isn't on localhost, then I'm afraid you'll need to contact your web host about it. If you have other scripts (eg. Wordpress, etc.) installed on the same server, then you can try and have a look at their settings to see what SQL server they're using and use that for your Ultimate Footer Ad installation. If that still doesn't work, then you'll really need to contact your web host provider for information.

          radhika explained how to find the MySQL server in cPanel (which Hostgator uses), so I don't need to repeat it. Just to add to that, if in case phpMyAdmin shows that you are using localhost, then I suggest you look into other possible reasons why your installation is failing. Perhaps you're trying to access a database that doesn't exist yet, or your database user or password may be wrong. Be sure to double-check those.

          To answer your previous question about the database server used by Wordpress, you won't be able to find it in the wp-admin page, unfortunately. To see what database server your Wordpress installation is using, you'll have to look at the source code of the file wp-config.php and look for the following lines:

          Code:
          /** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
          By default, the MySQL hostname would be localhost, but yours may be using a different hostname. That would be the hostname you should use for your UFA installation.

    On a hostgator reseller account the mysql database info is at the bottom of the page and it displays either an ip address or "localhost" localhost always works for me on my reseller hosting.

    Is this program maybe asking you for the wp-config.php information? you can easily find that file on your hosting using file manager in cpanel.
