i deleted my config
run the setup
at the end (after step 5 - “super login, password, e-mail,…”) i got the same message.

nobody any ideas?

This was rewritten for 0.4.4…

In the meantime, you can either comment out the update check in core/FrontController.php, or change line 985 of core/Piwik.php to:

if (($fsock = @fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout)) === false || !is_resource($fsock))
4

ich changed core/piwik.php
know i´get this error:

Error while connecting to: api.piwik.org. Please try again later.
Backtrace:

#0 /users/theo/www/piwik/core/UpdateCheck.php(35): Piwik::sendHttpRequest('http://api.piwi...', 2)

#2 /users/theo/www/piwik/index.php(64): Piwik_FrontController->init()
#3 {main}

which section in frontcontroller.php should i comment out? which lines?

line 237

all i see now is a complete blank page. no error-message. just nothing… style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

tried this with modified piwik.php and the original.

can you say something about the release-date of 0.44?

7

You might have to remove cached file in tmp/templates_c/* and clear your browser cache. If that doesn’t work, check your server log file. You shouldn’t be getting a blank page.

-i set up a complete new piwik installation
-same error as i wrote at the beginning
-modified piwik.php and frontcontroller.php
-deleted tmps and cache
-after setup point 5, i got this error

Error while connecting to: api.piwik.org. Please try again later.

using an old config-file i get a blank page.
my browser-error-console shows nothing
and a server-log-file is not available from my hoster.

Since fsockopen is disabled on your system, the best route would be to edit Piwik.php. Insert at the top of the sendHttpRequest function:

return '';
10

now

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN, expecting T_FUNCTION in /users/theo/www/piwik/core/Piwik.php  on line 947

Fatal error: Class 'Piwik' not found in /users/theo/www/piwik/core/FrontController.php on line 157

line 947 and 948 are looking now like this

    
return '';
static public function sendHttpRequest($aUrl, $timeout, $userAgent = null, $destinationPath = null, $followDepth = 0)

correct?

11

Try this:

static public function sendHttpRequest($aUrl, $timeout, $userAgent = null, $destinationPath = null, $followDepth = 0)
{
    return '';
12

empty page…

if you could say: “just wait a few days/a week and 0.44 will be released” we could stop this and I´ll wait…

13

End of next week.

14

when 0.44 is working it is totally ok style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

and thanks a lot!
