Support & Bugs

Hello,

I set up cron on an hourly basis and I am receiving e-mails with the following message below.

Is it normal? I have not yet included javascript code yet. Please advise. Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Axl Jay Angel

Yes, that’s the normal output from archive.php

You should redirect it to a log file if you don’t want to get the info per mail.

See How to Set up Auto-Archiving of Your Reports - Analytics Platform - Matomo


MAILTO="youremail@example.com"
5 * * * * www-data /usr/bin/php5 /path/to/piwik/misc/cron/archive.php --url=http://example.org/piwik/ > /home/example/piwik-archive.log

The “> /home/example/piwik-archive.log” is the redirect into the log file (errors will still come by email)

Ah, I did not read the Linux indications. I went straight to the cPanel section for cron set up.

Thank you for your help.

In that case there should be a general preference for cron output in cPanel (don’t know it). But a redirect as indicated above should work, also.

Yes, the redirect as indicated worked and the piwik-archive.log is correctly written. Thank you again.

Thanks, I updated the doc to put the redirect in the cpanel section
