See also similar bug: #5005 Install with errors, not tracking

Me too! I get this error since 2.0, seems to be related to the executed command. I don't have SSH access, so no way to check this out.

Tested 2.2 on another VPS with SSH access, no problems there.

Error occurs when calling the archive tool for people without SSH access. Error output very similar to the one in the forums. "... does not seem to be pointing to a Piwik server. Response was 'Console ToolUsage: [command arguments"...

We are still looking for a user having this issue who can give us access to your Piwik so we can debug & find the solution to this issue. Thanks in advance for commenting here if you have the issue!

Can you check whether "register_argc_argv" is enabled in php.ini?

For instance by runningphp -i | grep "register_argc_argv"

See #5224

@ichjetzthier please can you take a look at Thomas question as it would help us troubleshoot your problem: #5007

Hey. Sorry, must have overseen this one in my inbox.

As i don't have SSH-access, I used ini_get. "register_argc_argv" isn't set at all. Good or bad?

@ichjetzthier

this here is the link #5224

In case you run PHP as CGI

In 1191256: refs #5007 display an error message in case console is executed as type CGI

In 935c62a: refs #5007 try to find a non cgi and non fpm php binary

Piwik Console is not comaptible with CGI see forum post.

We display an error when executing console using CGI now and we try to find a non cgi binary when using CliMulti. Tried to make console / CronArchive / CliMulti / ... compatible with CGI but only with a lot of effort doable.
