I have piwik 2.2.1 and still get error is not pointing to a piwik server: console core:archive

Support & Bugs
1

I run /usr/bin/php5 console core:archive --url=http://analytics.corebyte.nl/ > archive.log

And get still a error in the latest piwik 2.2.1 with the message: Error in the last Piwik archive.php run:
The Piwik URL http://analytics.corebyte.nl/index.php does not seem to be pointing to a Piwik server.

Could anyone solve this problem for me?

I dont now what it could be?

Thanks!

if you execute


lynx "http://analytics.corebyte.nl/"

or wget instead of lynx,

does it load the Piwik login screen?

Has the same problem… After debugging I found out I did not install curl on my new server… That results in that error. Try installing the curl module for php and try again.

Example for Debian:


apt-get install php5-curl

Please try and report back :slight_smile:

Hi GerardW,

Thanks for you’re reply.
I am sorry to say that php5-curl already is installed, so thats not the problem.

It might be because you did not specify the full path to the console file? Did you try:


/usr/bin/php5 /path/to/console core:archive --url=http://analytics.corebyte.nl/ > archive.log

We are almost there Stown, I had the same issue. Because and error / warning is outputted, the response isnt valid json and can’t be parsed. We need to get rid of that warning and it should work.

I dont’t know exactly what you config files look like, but this could be it:

in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/ming.ini

change


# configuration for php MING module
extension=ming.so

to


extension=ming.so

Fixed?

I meant serialized data instead of json…

Thanks GerardW! That was the solution! Strange that a comment is the problem. Oké, thanks!
