Working with Fedora Linux can cause some problems from time to time, some because of bugs, other because of something you do. Or you don't.
Anyway, when creating websites locally or developing new Joomla components and modules, you may need to have a localhost and a MySql installed locally in order to develop & test the site / extension or to develop the database behind that. I have installed a few days ago the localhost and the MySql and everything was just fine. Then, suddenly, while trying to log in to the database using some software for it I was getting all the time the error "1130 host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MySql server".
The localhost was running, the MySql was active and running, everything seemed fine, but when trying to run `mysql` (with and without password, any password) I was getting errors like connecting to mysql server 'localhost' failed and access denied for user 'root'@'localhost', so commands like mysql -u root -h localhost -p or mysql -u root -h 'any ip address here' -p were out of the questions.
The solution for this was rather simple: reset mysql root password. In order to do that (at least for Fedora Linux - for other operating systems you should locate your my.cnf file) change the /etc/mysql/my.cnf configuration file and add skip-grant-tables:
[mysqld]
skip-grant-tables
Restart service and login with root without password, then change the root password using this:
set password for 'root'@'localhost' = password ('your_new_password');
Remove skip-grant-tables entry from my.cnf and restart mysql.
Note: in case you are logged in with your own Linux account (not root) you may need to log in with the root account if you don't have the rights to change the my.cnf configuration file.
The search engine optimisation part is very important for websites - they have to match certain criteria in order to appear as often as possible in the search results on Google and Bing. SEO (search engine optimization) starts from site / online store / platform development because it involves a specific structure of the pages, it involves an ease to browse for the visitors (for your clients) and it involves quicky loading when accessed. Our sites are delived already optimized, but if you have already a solution developed by someone else we analize your website and we offer consultancy - we'll tell you about the options you have about to boost its visibility and organic traffic.
We develop websites to present your activity to the world and applications for internet that help you organize your activity as eficient as possible and without loses (in money, time and energy) wherever you are. Do you need an online store or a tool available for you anytime? We can develop that as long you reserve a domain name and some hosting space, the app is our job.
We develop web applications and mobile apps (Android) for various companies and organisations according to their specifications and requirements. The apps are being used by employees and partners to work more efficient and with less costs for the company: the web applications can be accessed through the browsers installed on smartphones and tablets but the usage of a complementary mobile app can make efficiency to go up (it can increase the communication between people or it can show things not so important on PC).
We offer consultancy about the informatic system you have installed and we offer sollutions to make the more efficient, to improve and develop them further, we analize the activities inside your company and / organisation and we offer sollutions for the projects you want to develop.
