So we have been using Piwik for a little over a year now. Never had any issues, everything was fast, and ran great.
Had a small hiccup during the upgrade but was able to make it through. After the upgrade was complete I noticed it was a bit sliggush on the main panel. Changing to monthly stats would completely die out initially due to execution time exceeded.
I went ahead and upgraded to latest beta but it is still very sluggish compared to version 1
We are running standard Cpanel Centos 6.4, Apache 2.2.26, PHP5.4.25
Yep did that after I posted above. Although I am getting errors when the cron runs:
INIT
Querying Piwik API at: Index of /analytics
Running Piwik 2.1-rc8 as Super User: dkent
ERROR: Got invalid response from API request: Index of /analytics. The response was empty. This usually means a server error. This solution to this error is generally to increase the value of ‘memory_limit’ in your php.ini file. Please check your Web server Error Log file for more details.
ERROR: The Piwik URL Index of /analytics does not seem to be pointing to a Piwik server. Response was ‘’.
php memory is at 512 already and I have already rechecked the cron line.
htaccess and account level php were the first things I looked for. THere is no account level php.ini and the htaccess files do not contain any memory lines.
the memory definition I post was from the server php.ini.
Just found another issue. Once i setup the cron job (that still didn’t work) all my data from the time i started running the cron is gone. Real time visitors data is showing accurately, but nothing else
As a test I went into general settings and Changed “Allow Piwik archiving to trigger when reports are viewed from the browser” back to yes. All my data showed back up. I am presuming that because the archiving cron job is not working the data was not showing.
