Make sure you start your assets in symfony2 journey from this introductory Assetic presentation.

You may either not be able to connect at all (even mysql -u root fails in your case) or you can connect, but your command-line mysql tells you something like:

mysql> use information_schema
Database changed
mysql> select * from USER_PRIVILEGES;
+----------------+---------------+----------------+--------------+
| GRANTEE        | TABLE_CATALOG | PRIVILEGE_TYPE | IS_GRANTABLE |
+----------------+---------------+----------------+--------------+
| ''@'localhost' | def           | USAGE          | NO           |
+----------------+---------------+----------------+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Let’s see what we can do to fix that and get you working on more important things.

1. If the mysqld server is already running on your Mac, stop it first with:

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

2. Start the mysqld server with the following command which lets anyone log in with full permissions.

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

3. Run mysql -u root to log in successfully without a password.

4. Reset all the root passwords. Make sure to replace ‘NewPassword’ with something more secure.

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('NewPassword') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

5. Because writing your scripts with root access is not a good practice, make yourself a favor and create a new user now, using a command like
grant all on *.* to 'your_username_here'@'localhost' identified by 'your_favorite_password_here';

6. Kill the running copy of mysqld_safe. sudo killall -9 mysqld Phew.

7. Start mysql again without the skip-grant-tables option:

8. You should be able to log in with mysql -u root -p and the new password you just set and also with the user that you created before.

That was simple, wasn’t it?

But we’re all tekkies here, we solve stuff, and don’t complain about it And we’re using free software to do it, yummy!

All you need is PhoneDirector to get your Nokia agenda on the Mac. Just install it and follow the instructions, you should be just fine. After you get all this, export them into a .vcf file, we’ll need it in a moment.

Now, to get this info in the Android is really a piece of cake. Go to the Contacts settings in Gmail and import the .vcf file you generated with PhoneDirector. Then go to your Android phone and sync your contacts. Ta-da! Welcome to the Google world!

NB: if you’re having a hard time finding the Contacts in the Gmail app, like I did, look immediately under your labels list.

The above steps weren’t good for you? Then you might need to take a look at this.

• open a terminal window and make sure you navigate to the home directory

cd ~

• open your profile settings using the full path to your editor (I use nano):

/usr/bin/nano .profile

• make sure your PATH setting contains at least the following information:

export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:

• make the shell reload your profile

. ./.profile

Now we’re talking! You can ls and sudo again!

How do I quickly change my emulator from portrait to landscape and viceversa?

Use Ctrl + F11 to test around.

Can I only improve the layout and use no extra code?

The short answer is yes, definitely.

The layouts in /res/layout are applied to both portrait and landscape, unless you specify otherwise. Let’s assume we have /res/layout/home.xml for our homepage and we want it to look differently in the 2 layout types.

1. create folder /res/layout-land (here you will keep your landscape adjusted layouts)
2. copy home.xml there
3. make necessary changes to it
4. run the application in the emulator and test it using the Ctrl + F11 combination

Don’t forget to have fun!

Both do get minimized in the taskbar, isn’t this cool?
