Connectify connecting problems using android phone

I changed my laptop and installed Connectify onto it. Then I tried to connect with my Atrix to the WiFi. It saw the hotspot but whenever I tried to connect the phone would say 'obtaining ip address' for about 2 minutes, then abort the connection. Another laptop could connect to the Connectify hotspot so the issue was on the phone.

Solved the issue by going into the WiFi settings on android, pressing the menu button, choosing 'Advanced' and selecting 'Enable Auto IP'. Then it connected! Hooray!

You need to have mod_wsgi configured exactly as follow:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

Add privs for django on mysql

Once user is setup make sure to remember to grant privs on the table space that the user needs.

Setting up mysql on windows with Django

Install mysql from http://www.mysql.com/

Then you'll need a mysql drive thingo as standard django does not come with it.

Install the windows exe install from http://www.codegood.com/archives/129.

Setup your settings.py as follows:

DATABASES = {

'default': {

'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',

'NAME': 'wordy',

'USER': 'wordy',

'PASSWORD': 'nooble',

'HOST': 'localhost', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.

'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.

}

}

Then create your user, my example is wordy, using mysql workbench. Put localhost into the 'limit connectivity to hosts matching' field, do not use the default of %.
