Their website is matomo.org. Is there a way to install Matomo analytics like Roundcube? I would like to install once and make available for all websites with an ALIAS. I host a dozen sites and want to maintain my ISPconfig integrity. As a last resort I could install it individually to each site but that seems overkill. On a default install you get something like https://mysite.com/analytics. It strikes me that this could be very similar to roundcube's https://mysite.com/webmail. With recent browser updates (testing on Brave) I get a failure (blocked) if I place the tracking code in a second website such as yoursite.com and it points to mysite.com. Thanks
I guess it might work to use one central installation, but never tried that. E.g. create a directory /var/www/matomo and put the matomo files into that directory and chown them to www-data user and group. Then use a similar config to phpmyadmin: Code: Alias /analytics /var/www/matomo <Directory /var/www/matomo> Options FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.php AllowOverride All <IfVersion >= 2.3> Require all granted </IfVersion> <IfVersion < 2.3> Order allow,deny Allow from all </IfVersion> <IfModule mod_php7.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php </IfModule> </Directory> That's just to get an idea how it might work and there might be additional settings required, have not tested that.
Thanks Till, It works.Your help got me what I needed. Below is a brief summary. 1) Install Matomo to an existing website to a temp dir such as https://mysite.com/temp-matomo 2) Create the directory /var/www/matomo 3) Move the contents of temp-matomo to /var/www/matomo 4) Run chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/matomo 4) Delete the temp-matomo direcory 5) Create an etc/matomo directory 6) Create etc/matomo/apache.conf file with your ALIAS code snippet from above 7) Create a link file /etc/apache2/conf-available/matomo.conf pointing to etc/matomo/apache.conf 8) Create a link in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled pointing to ../conf-available/matomo.conf 9) Restart apache 10) Go to https://mysite.com/matomo This gets things working better with one install and multiple web sites, but ublock origin is still catching it. I made links to matomo.js and matomo.php (test.js and test.php) and change the tracking code to match. This almost worked, but ublock origin was still catching it. I found a web post stating to add a / to test.php and now it seems to work. Code: <!-- Matomo --> <script> var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || []; /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */ _paq.push(['trackPageView']); _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']); (function() { var u="https://mysite.com/analytics/"; _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'test.php/']); _paq.push(['setSiteId', '3']); var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; g.async=true; g.src=u+'test.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); })(); </script> <!-- End Matomo Code --> I will have to do a bit more testing to be sure.
Thanks for documenting the steps in detail! I'll move the post to the tips & tricks forum to find it easier in the future.
Sorry. I don't have any knowledge about nginx. Maybe Till will answer. One more thing. When you update Matomo, be careful not to delete the four files: matomo.js matomo.php test.js test.php The System Check/File Integrity will flag the two test.* files and suggest you delete the 2 matomo.(js/php) files. This would create a broken system. Just leave them alone and you are good to go. Good luck.
