Hi,
I just upgraded to 1.6 and the website dropdown does not work any more, every time I try to select a website from the dropdown it asks me to download index.php, when doing so I get an empty file.
I see no messages in error logs or anything, please advice…
Thanks
Bastian
Can you right click on the link in the dropdown and copy it here? it sounds like maybe the link is not constructed correctly?
Not working here either. If I drop down and click on any website other than the default option (one that loads when you first log in) it gives us an error. There error says “Proxy Received an invalid response.” If I bring it back to 1.5.1 works fine.
Upgraded off the RC and it still claims I am running 1.5.1? However the drop downs work now…So am I running 1.5.1 or 1.6 hmmm
JMETERX, what is the URL that it is trying to load that returns an error message ? can you copy here the URL without the domain as to see if the URL is the problem, or something else.
Regarding the update, make sure all files are overwritten correctly. Then, delete browser cache and refresh and you should see “About Piwik 1.6” in the box.
Matt-
Deleted browser cache still did not do the job. We are running multiple frontend servers here so I deleted all the files and ensured they were overwritten correctly. We now get this error:
Zend_Session::start() - /opt/piwik/libs/Zend/Session.php(Line:480): Error #2 session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/opt/piwik/tmp/sessions/sess_0v6cqgbq580f379o9hnvbdio52, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) Array /opt/piwik/libs/Zend/Session.php(Line:490): Error #2 session_write_close() [function.session-write-close]: open(/opt/piwik/tmp/sessions/sess_0v6cqgbq580f379o9hnvbdio52, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) Array /opt/piwik/libs/Zend/Session.php(Line:490): Error #2 session_write_close() [function.session-write-close]: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/opt/piwik/tmp/sessions) Array
After receiving this I pushed the files to the server again and are now back up but still receiving the version number of 1.5.1. I also checked the sessions and it IS set to save it in the correct place (opt/piwik/tmp/sessions) and the folder does exist. The config file is also set up to save the session data to the DB so maybe that is the issue that is coming into play? Either way we aren’t receiving that error anymore but I have no clue what version I am really running here…PLEASE HELP!! :S
I also have my config.ini.php file syncing across all systems. Basically set up the exact way the instructions read for multiple servers
To know for sure which version you are running, you should look at the file core/Version.php
Also, please try to delete the directories inside tmp/* in your webservers, and they should be created again (maybe you will have to setup the right permissions).
After this, you should definitely see in the “About box” the same version number as your core/Version.php file.
Error #2 session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/opt/piwik/tmp/sessions/sess_0v6cqgbq580f379o9hnvbdio52, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory
Regarding this error I am not sure what the problem could be - does /opt/piwik/tmp/sessions/ and all files inside have RW for the webserver user to overwrite these files?
But, if you have several servers behind load balancer, you should be using DB based sessions as explained in: http://piwik.org/faq/how-to-install/#faq_133
Then no such message should be displayed?

Hi Matt,
Here comes a sample url:
index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&date=yesterday&period=day&updated=1&idSite=17#module=Dashboard&action=embeddedIndex&date=yesterday&period=day&idSite=17
I guess the # might be the issue, curiously it does not allways happen, sometimes the dropdown works…
Thanks
Bastian
Matt -
Checked out the core/Version.php — still says 1.5.1. I have no clue as to why this might be. I even tried deleting all the piwik files and just doing a “fresh” install on one of the servers. That is when we received the “Zend Session” error that is located earlier in this thread. I did download the correct file. Also performed all the needed steps of deleting everything inside tmp folder.

I agree this message should not even be displayed at this point.
RW are set correctly, and yes we ARE using the DB sessions though I am not 100% convinced they are properly going to the DB…
We have this set in the config.ini.php file here is the code:
Is this all you ahve to do to make it set or do we need to edit the php.ini file as well?
session_save_handler = dbtable
Matt -
Just tried to install everything again. Here is what my Version.php reads (Remember, I DID and CONFIRMED the version I installed is 1.6)

/**

final class Piwik_Version
{
const VERSION = '1.5.1';
}
UPDATE:This is pretty strange but I was using a wget command to download from http://piwik.org/latest.zip and it would download and I would check the version and everytime it was reading as 1.5.1. So I downloaded the files to my desktop and transferred them to one of our other servers and wouldn’t you know it, it now says 1.6!
On that note, the issue still remains with the drop down not working…Here is the code for one of mine
index.php?module=MultiSites&action=index&period=day&date=today&idSite=12
NOTE: Just like the other user having the same issue mine does not happen all the time. Also, is there another way we can get in contact with you a little faster?
JMETERX, the problem is probably that some proxy server cached piwik.org/latest.zip. Instead, try to download from : http://builds.piwik.org/piwik-1.6.zip
Regarding the website dropdown problem, I suspect that the problem is not so much the dropdown but the fact that the request for another website either times out, or fails to process. Can you check your webserver error logs? Is there any information there?
Here is my log for a period of about 10 seconds that I was receiving the error:
Basically when it happens we get the short links like the three in bold below. The large links are when the back button is clicked.
The error we receive is [quote=“The Proxy received an invalid response. URL: ********/index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&period=day&date=2011-10-14&idSite=11”]

Could you just put the request that is the one matching your click in the website selector?
Sorry about that
Doing a tail -f to the access_log file gives us nothing but normal generated requests from the load balancer. So we have nothing there. However,
In the error_log we are receiving this each time there is a click

Short of a core dump (beyond my expertise) in Apache not sure what else to do here
OK so the problem is really that the some websites trigger a segmentation fault. This is unfortunate

In an extremely unfortunate twist of fate upgrading to 1.6 kills eaccelerator. I know you guys had said a few times before that it doesn’t work anyway however, we were able to get it to work and if you have seen my posts in 301 Moved Permanently Eaccelerator along with a few other tweaks increased the load capabilities by almost 150%. Very familiar with your guys segmentation help page, none of it has every worked for me 
.
Anything you can think of that has changed between 1.5.1 and 1.6 that would cause this to stop working? Eaccelerator is still working on the other frontend nodes running 1.5.1 and everything works just fine…
By the way thanks for all your help on this…handling as many hits as we do per month its extremely important to keep everything up and running smooth
Clearly here this is a bug in Eaccelerator which we can’t do much about, probably triggered by some random dataset (because “only some websites fail”).
Try APC or another one instead? List of PHP accelerators - Wikipedia
Thanks. I will have to try one of those out…we were just talking about Zend may give that a try.
As you can see…no eaccelerator, the other tweaks just are not enough.
[attachment 375 test1.png]
Just an update, APC is up and running works great about 12% more efficient overall than eaccelerator
