: Piwik not recording site visits on remote server I have two different web servers at the moment: Webserver 1 is hosting www.example.com, this webserver hosts just basic website files, no databases

I have two different web servers at the moment:


Webserver 1 is hosting example.com, this webserver hosts just basic website files, no databases or anything extra, just the html files. The pages display correctly on this server.
Webserver 2 is hosting the Piwik install and currently doesn't have a domain name pointed at it, (e.g., 127.0.0.16/~username/analytics/piwik). I'm able to log in and view the Piwik dashboard and settings page.


The problem is that Piwik isn't recording any visits and I know that visitors are going to the site, and I know I've included the correct tracking code in the headers of the HTML pages I'm trying to track.

My Question is: Is there something I might be missing, such as a setting? What test or common things can I double check? What info would be of use towards finding and fixing this problem?

I observed a similar issue between a live server and the new server I am planning to migrate to.

I access the latter either through its IP address or by modifying my local /etc/hosts file. The piwik install on that one doesn't record any visits.

I also observed that the visits I make to the new server are recorded to the old (live server's) piwik installation, probably because I used the same name/credentials for the databases.
