i installed last piwik server on last easyphp 14.11 with APACHE 2.4.7 MYSQL 5.6.15 PHP 5.5.8. on a Intel i-5 4GB ram notebook.
empty server, only piwik installed.
piwik runs very slow , but this is not the main problem.
the main problem is the huge amounth of javascript issues that i can see in chrome console, for example, in the login page :
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token > index.php:20
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined jquery.placeholder.js?cb=3e56eeca24d975c41d932d6ce7d79924:157
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property ‘smartbanner’ of undefined jquery.smartbanner.js?cb=3e56eeca24d975c41d932d6ce7d79924:166
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined (index):33
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined (index):45
it looks like jQuery was not loaded, but this resource are sent by localhost, so there can be a server issue?
what about those problems in a fresh installation?
please check your server error log file as there may be an error message in there. then check the FAQ for this error message: FAQ Archive - Analytics Platform - Matomo

so i changed php.ini => max_execution_time to 300, and piwik starts to work
