When running app/console assetic:dump, I am getting:

Path to node executable could not be resolved

What does it mean and how to fix this?

When trying to browse project via app_dev.php, I am getting an HTTP 500 errors when browser tries to download css and js files.

First make sure you have node installed and find the path to node. You can usually find this by using which node which will return something like /usr/local/bin/node. If it returns something like /usr/bin/which: no node in ... you need to install node.

Next configure symfony. Open your config.yml (./app/config/config.yml) and the path to node to you assetic config, i.e.:

# app/config/config.yml
assetic:
    node: /usr/local/bin/node
