i have managed to get as far as creating the database and uploading piwik by FTP, to the folder /analytics. however when i try to access http://mydomain.com/analytics i get the following messages:
PHP Warning: set_error_handler() expects the argument (Piwik_ErrorHandler) to be a valid callback in D:\Domains\mydomain.com\wwwroot\analytics\index.php on line 40 PHP Warning: set_exception_handler() expects the argument (Piwik_ExceptionHandler) to be a valid callback in D:\Domains\mydomain.com\wwwroot\analytics\index.php on line 41 PHP Fatal error: Class ‘Piwik_FrontController’ not found in D:\Domains\mydomain.com\wwwroot\analytics\index.php on line 45
i am running on an IIS shared server with PHP 5 and MySQL 5.
thanks for that, but still no-go… however, at least now i have a new error message:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or ‘(’ in D:\Domains\mydomain.com\wwwroot\analytics\index.php on line 11
it seems that the PHP version is 5.2.6, and owing to problems caused with some systems my hosts are not doing a blanket upgrade to 5.3
taking this and the earlier issues into account, i have now installed piwik on an apache server as this seemed to be the line of least resistance to getting up and running. this was an easy install without problems and i was up and running within minutes.
at this point all that remains is for me to say thank you for the prompt support, and congratulations: what an excellent piece of software, which we will now be using on all our clients’ sites.
I just tried to update my existing und fully functional Piwik 1.2 Installation. Since automatic update did not work through the web interface (Piwik message “already latest version” ) , i tried to update manually, as described on the Piwik website.
BUT i experience the same error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or ‘(’ in / … /index.php on line 11
I uploaded the complete content of the “latest.zip” (version 2.0.2) onto my server, overwriting the existing installation (unzipped data in binary transfer mode)
The server i am using is running PHP 5.5
