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/
chown -R www-data:www-data piwik/
php /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/index.php -- "module=CoreUpdater"
