Hi
I followed the official guides:
http://piwik.org/docs/installation/#the-5-minut-piwik-installation
Everything went fine, I saved the files inside the piwik folder to:
/html_public/analytics.
I copied the contents of the extracted folder piwik, rather than the folder itself, to that location.
I’m able to access the interface via http://analytics.mydomain.com.
I’ve installed the WP-Piwik add-on for Wordpress and on the Connect to Piwik page entered the following:
Piwik Mode: Self Hosted (HTTP API, default)
Piwik URL: analytics.mydomain.com
Auth token: copied and pasted everything after &token_auth= from the API page.
When I click Save Changes I get:
WP-Piwik 1.0.6 was not able to connect to Piwik using your configuration. Check the »Connect to Piwik« section below.
I’ve used a few options in the Support section of the plugin confirmation screens, including Reset WP-Piwik.
The output of the testscript follows:

Any idea what I should do next? I understand HTTP Error 400 to mean malformed request so I don’t know what to try next.
I’ve replaced my domain name with mydomain above.
