Piwik Web Stats

The server is available at:

​https://stats.transitionnetwork.org/

It is currently running on wiki:PenguinServer#stats.transitionnetwork.org via Nginx, previously there was a live site on Quince and a dev site on Kiwi using Apache, see the old Apache PiwikServerInstall notes.

Sites

Currently stats are generated for the following sites:

1. ​Transition Network
2. ​Transition Movie
3. ​Transition Wiki
4. ​2010 Archive
5. ​2011 Archive
6. ​Static Archive
7. ​TTech Trac

Adding a site

To add a site you need to contact webproject@… or chris@… and they can login and and use the ​sites manager to add a site and get the tracking code for the site, they should add the site to the PiwikServer#Sites list above.

They should then ​create a user and grant the new user access to the stats for the sites they need access to.

• 1.8.4 ticket:418

To update Piwik, backup the config file:

sudo -i
cd /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/
cp piwik/config/config.ini.php .

There is an optional task of switching off the recording of stats, but it's not clear that the sites are busy enough to make this necessary, see ticket:418.

Download, extract, and update the database:

wget "http://piwik.org/latest.zip"
unzip latest.zip
cp config.ini.php piwik/config/
php /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/index.php -- "module=CoreUpdater"
