we have fixed few bugs, could you try with latest 2.1.1 beta?

I'll give it a try and report back.

This is not working for me with the most recent stable version. I will be testing the beta version tonight and tomorrow.

I've tested this with 2.2 beta 16 and have the same exact results. There are no errors in the logs and the archive script runs without error. No data is archived and Piwik continues to show zero visits.

Is there any other information I can provide?

I did some more testing and imported data using the log import script. I then ran the archiving script. The command to run the archive script is:

/usr/local/bin/php /usr/home/ftp/dev-piwik.censored.com/public_html/misc/cron/archive.php --url=https://dev-piwik.censored.com > /usr/home/ftp/dev-piwik.censored.com/logs/piwik-archive.log

Here is the output from the piwik-archive.log.

The web interface still indicates zero visitors to all sites. Is there a way I can gather further debug information?

Another note, the database table piwik_log_visit is empty with the beta.

Using version 2.0.3 causes visits to be recorded as normal using the same import data and archive commands as used above.

Another note, the database table piwik_log_visit is empty with the beta.

This particular bug (no data in log_visit) should be fixed in 2.2.2 (it may require a clean install), please try with this version?

I'll give that a try. I found that setting --recorder-max-payload-size to 1 allows the data import to work. The archiving issues are ongoing. I'm still trying to find an underlying cause.

please re-open if you experience the problem after a fresh install of the latest beta: http://piwik.org/faq/how-to-update/faq_159/
