To update Piwik, switch off the recording of stats by setting record_statistics to 0 in /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/config/config.ini.php:
[Tracker] record_statistics = 0
Backup the config file:
cd /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/ cp piwik/config/config.ini.php .
Download, extract, and update the database and restart php-fpm:
export PIWIK="2.5.0" wget "https://builds.piwik.org/piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz" tar -zxvf piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz cp config.ini.php piwik/config/ chown -R www-data:www-data piwik/ php /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/console core:update /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart
Switch recording of stats back on by setting record_statistics to 1 in /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/config/config.ini.php:
[Tracker] record_statistics = 1
Login and do a system check.
Logo
For a while there was an error because we have overwritten three logo files, see ticket:672, but now the Transition Network logo is now uploaded via the web interface, see ticket:697#comment:3 and this isn't an issue.
Cron
Archiving of Piwiki stats is done by this crontab, /etc/cron.d/piwik-archive:
MAILTO="root@localhost" #5 * * * * www-data /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/console core:archive --url=http://stats.transitionnetwork.org/ >> /var/log/piwik-archive.log 5 2-23 * * * www-data /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/console core:archive --url=http://stats.transitionnetwork.org/ >> /var/log/piwik-archive.log
It doesn't run at 5 past midnight or 5 past 1am as there were often errors when it ran at this time, probably because the MySQL database backup is also running, see ticket:768#comment:6.
The log file that is created, /var/log/piwik-archive.log is rotated by logrotate which is configured with /etc/logrotate.d/piwik which contains:
/var/log/piwik-archive.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 30
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
}
This crontab was created on ticket:726#comment:2 and updated on ticket:768#comment:4 and ticket:768#comment:5.
Server Log Analytics
Following a failed attempt to get wiki:AwStatsInstall working Piwik has been set up to analyse the Nginx logs from wiki:PuffinServer.
The Nginx logs from wiki:PuffinServer are copied to wiki:PenguinServer as documented on the wiki:AwStatsInstall page.
The logs are imported using the wiki:PiwikImportScript which is run by the www-data user using this crontab:
30 07 * * * /usr/local/bin/piwik-import > /dev/null
