Log file import script stops working after first time

My server logs imported perfectly into my database the first time. Now whenever I try to import more server logs, the script runs, but no data is added to the database. I have to delete the database, re-install piwik, and then import the server logs each day in order for it to work.

Here is an example of what happens when I try to import a 2nd log file:


2486 lines parsed, 279 lines recorded, 276 records/sec (avg), 279 records/sec (current)
5051 lines parsed, 1394 lines recorded, 692 records/sec (avg), 1115 records/sec (current)
6751 lines parsed, 2978 lines recorded, 984 records/sec (avg), 1584 records/sec (current)

7459 lines parsed, 5466 lines recorded, 1087 records/sec (avg), 1388 records/sec (current)

Did you run the archiving as per instructions in the script output:

To re-process these reports with your new update data, execute the following command:
piwik/console core:archive --url=http://example/piwik/

I have tried running the archive after running the python script and still no data is added to the database. Here is what happens when I run the archive:

When you select 2014-05-12 date in Piwik it does not show any report? what about the Visitors>Visitor log ?

No, there are not any visitors for the 12th or in the visitor log either. Please see attachment.

I upgraded to the beta version (2.2.3-b6). That didn’t fix it either. I wonder why it works the first time and then stops working…

what python version u running?

Python 2.6.6

I upgraded to python2.7 and it’s still not working. This is frustrating…

i beleive the minimum recommended is 2.7.1 or higher

I have upgraded to 2.7.3 - still not working.

It’s working now. I re-installed piwik, upgraded to the beta version and made sure to run the latest version of python both on the first import, the archive, and the subsequent imports.
