Support & Bugs

I installed 2.7.0 on a new server, complete fresh install with new database. I was able to login as admin only once. Thereafter, all I see is errors.

Here is the back trace:

I have also set permissions on all /tmp folders to 777.

Any idea what is happening?

can you check that your config/global.ini.php file exists and looks good?

I went ahead and re-installed Piwik from scratch, with a new database and new upload.

Now everything works fine, so I have no idea what the problem might have been.

Thanks for the suggestion about config/global.ini.php. If I have the same problem again, I’ll look into that.
