How to run scheduled tasks?

sirtet · February 25, 2015, 8:29pm

I thought my piwik install would run scheduled tasks automatically, triggered by the calls to the tracking, or something like that.
But now i see via the TasksTimetable Plugin, that all tasks are far behind, eg. next scheduled time = 3 days ago…
So, ist this normal, do i need to set up a cron or so to run them? If so, how?
Or is there a problem with my install?

Hi there,

it’s possible that it’s a bug - could you please create a bug report At: Issues · matomo-org/piwik · GitHub with a screenshot of the timetable and maybe info such as that you do not run the cron etc.
