1.5.1 Bug?

Support & Bugs
1

I have installed Piwik 1.5.1 onto http://kiss-guild.com and it was working the first month. Though I noticed it appeared to be adding multiple entries due to the no script part as the image is still loaded. However I fixed that due to adding in the PHP code instead. However when I go into Piwik I see "No data for this graph. " for every graph, even while viewing a data range of a year.

The only area I can actually view any data is in the Visitor -> Visitor Log section where I see who has come to the site.

I noticed in the database there were archive tables. I have the cron job installed. I want ALL reports available and want to be able to see everything. I’m not worried about database space or anything.

Enable “browser trigger archiving” in Settings > General settings ?

3

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of being able to run a cron? The cron is running every hour at the moment but even after hours upon hours nothing is showing in the admin area besides the visitor logs.

4

That’s because somehow the cron is not setup properly… check your error logs, and check again: How to Set up Auto-Archiving of Your Reports - Analytics Platform - Matomo

I turned on email crons and this is the error I’m getting:
“php binary not found. Make sure php5 or php exists in PATH.”

6

So I fixed it. PATH on my host does not specify the php path. Not something I can change but I was able to after some trial and error skip around this and get the script to work. Here is my finished file (mind the commented debug coding).


#!/bin/sh -e

# Description
# This cron script will automatically run Piwik archiving every hour.
# The script will also run scheduled tasks configured within piwik using
# the event hook 'TaskScheduler.getScheduledTasks'

# It automatically fetches the Super User token_auth
# and triggers the archiving for all websites for all periods.
# This ensures that all reports are pre-computed and Piwik renders very fast.

# Documentation
# Please check the documentation on http://piwik.org/docs/setup-auto-archiving/

# How to setup the crontab job?
# Add the following lines in your crontab file, eg. /etc/cron.d/piwik-archive
#---------------START CRON TAB--
#MAILTO="youremail@example.com"
#5 * * * * www-data /path/to/piwik/misc/cron/archive.sh > /dev/null
#-----------------END CRON TAB--
# When an error occurs (eg. php memory error, timeout) the error messages
# will be sent to youremail@example.com.
#
# Optimization for high traffic websites
# You may want to override the following settings in config/config.ini.php:
# See documentation of the fields in your piwik/config/config.ini.php
#
# [General]
# time_before_archive_considered_outdated = 3600
# enable_browser_archiving_triggering = false

Well the above made the cron work. But I’m still not seeing any information on any of the pages besides the visitor log. After updating I now see the date range come up with the date range but there is still no data loading into anything.
