Backup the config, download and extract the latest version:

cd /web/piwik.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/config
cp config.ini.php config.ini.php.bak
cd /web/piwik.transitionnetwork.org
wget "http://piwik.org/latest.zip?cb=1.8.4" -O piwik.1.8.4.zip
unzip piwik.1.8.4.zip
cd /web/piwik.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/config
cp config.ini.php.bak config.ini.php

Then update the database:

php /web/piwik.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/index.php -- "module=CoreUpdater" 

Then turn tracking back on, ​http://piwik.org/faq/how-to/#faq_111 and test the site.
