Https site is not tracking by piwik installed in http

Support & Bugs

Hi friends,

I am using Piwik to track some sites. Piwik is installed in http:// server.
Now I have added a website which is secured(https://), but the site is not being tracked. Any visitor log, custom variables are not recorded in Piwik for that secured website.

Can anyone tell me why?

That’s becuase browser will not load http content in a https site automatic. You have to make sure that your piwik installation is also available under https

Thanks mvanlaar for your reply.

One more thing I want to be understand:
Do I have to add the same server certificate of https:// site(the site has to track) in Piwik installation?

no. you have to create a certifcate for you piwik domain.

piwik.yourdomain.com (piwik installation) you need a ssl cert for this name
and not for www.tracking.com (site your’e tracking)
