The Piwik offering of GlobalSolutions comes prepackaged with all the dependent components for Piwik. All the user has to do is subscribe to our AMI and start using it right away.

Accessing the Application.

To access the Piwik application please open up the Piwik Login icon in your desktop. This will take you to Piwik Login Page. Alternative way is to point your browser to http://localhost/piwik/index.php. Type in the User name as admin and password as your Instance_ID. The instance ID of your EC2 instance can be seen in the desktop top right corner or by going to your AWS console. (please refer to the above 'where to find the Instance_ID" section).

After logging into Piwik as an admin first you have to change the default admin details with your own details by going to Administration, which will be on the upper right corner.

  • Make sure to get an elastic IP and associate with the instance.

  • If you have a domain name, go to the DNS settings and update the IP address.

  • Goto C:\Apache24\htdocs\piwik\config\config.ini.php and edit that file and locate a line

    trusted_hosts[] = "localhost" and update that line with your Public DNS of your instance
    trusted_hosts[] = "Public DNS of your instance" or "Elastic IP of your instance"
