[SOLVED] Visits not being logged

I just installed Piwik on a VPS I am going to use for stats, installation went very smooth. Tracking code has been added to my test site, and the browser is successfully making requests to Piwik (204 status code being returned).

There is nothing in the error logs, and access logs show success.

The database doesn’t register views.

php error logs have been turned on, they remain empty after sending multiple tracking requests to the piwik server.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve turned on debugging, and its turns out this is my fault. I am sending the do no track cookie, and piwik is dropping it (as it should).

I’m glad the issue is resolved. How did you enable debugging?
