Hello!

It works but this incident shouldn’t happend(incorrect procedures of internal tests?).
I’ve earlier tried replace this line to “http://builds.piwik.org/latest.zip?cb=1.10” but it doesn’t worked :wink:

Thanks,
Marcin

We have made the latest File URL change for security reasons as we had to isolate the download files on their own subdomains for increased security. Sorry about it! See the solution here: 301 Moved Permanently

I too had problems which were solved. Details here: 301 Moved Permanently

Works for me now I updated to

latest_version_url = http://builds.piwik.org/latest.zip

Thanks

Hello,
I suggest the following solution:
Put the file to download (latest.zip) on the two domains, then integrate the compatibility in the next minor version.
The compatibility code could be one of the two
[ol]
[li] a possibility to follow the 301 redirection that is happening
[/li]

Contents of tmp/latest/latest.zip

301 Moved Permanently

[li] a change to global.ini.php
[/li][/ol]

Thanks. This time the update was fine.

32

we changed it so now it should not have a redirect and should work OK http://piwik.org/latest.zip ?

33

Update worked as intended now. Thanks.

34

Thanks. This time the update was fine.

Trying to update automatically from 2.8.3 to 2.9.1 yeilds this error:

Incompatible archive: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

It appears that this issue was resolved by the redirect since 1.10 and I have not found any other users recently running into this error.

Piwik throws this error after creating an empty file at piwik/public/tmp/latest/latest.zip. I assume it touches the latest.zip file, fails to write the data to it, and then attempts to access the empty archive resulting in the above exception. (Empty file means there’s no End-of-central-directory signature to find.)

Any suggestions?

Did any one ever figure out how to solve this bc I just got same error trying to update to 2.15.0???

i also get


Incompatible archive: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

*Update

I did manual update 2x bc i got errors for file integrity so I set ftp to binary transfer.

Was able to see dash again ! But it gave warnings about Zeietgiest(?) Plugin so i went to delete that plugin but got error so hat to deled it with ftp.
Then got 2 more errors for SysInfo and Visit Generator plugins so deleted them too and now so far all seems ok.

Exciting day!
