A little something about everything

I've run into this issue several times now where windows explorer 10 has some sort of conflict with windows search service. This happens on clean installs and more frequently to those that have upgraded from windows 7 or 8 to windows 10.

Here is the quick fix to resolve this:

Ctrl+Alt+Del > Select "Task Manager"

Once task manager opens select the wind and type "w" until it selects "Windows Explorer", right click and end task. This will cause all of your windows explorer items to be removed from the windows interface and you should notice the pc has returned to normal, no longer slow.

If this is the case continue with the next step,

Choose "file" from "Task Manager" then enter "services.msc" and click "ok", now scroll down to "Windows Search" double click and change the startup type to "Disabled" then "Stop" the service.

(please note, this will disable your windows search function)

To restore windows explorer select "file" from the task manager and "run new task" enter "explorer.exe" and click ok. Everything should now be working properly other than "Windows Search" which is now disabled.

Here are the Steps:

• Download CentOS 6.9-minimal.iso start VM, Choose Media > DVD Drive and "Insert Disk..." then install and reboot.
• Download LinuxICv4.2.5.iso, Choose Media > DVD Drive and "Insert Disk..."

mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
./install.sh
umount /mnt/cdrom

• Now update your network settings via vi

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

use "i" to insert text, (esc) to exit and ":wq" to write your changes.

It should look something like this:

DEVICE="eth0"
 HWADDR=(MAC ADDRESS, This should match what is configured in Hyper-V)
 TYPE="Ethernet"
 UUID={don't change this}
 ONBOOT="yes"
 BOOTPROTO=none
 IPADDR=(YOUR SERVER IP)
 GATEWAY=(YOUR DEFAULT GATEWAY)
 DNS1=(PRIMARY DNS SERVER IP)
 DNS2=(SECONDARY DNS SERVER IP)
 Networking=yes

Start the network by using... 

 service network restart

Now you can update using yum:

#yum update
Is this ok [y/N]: y

That's it, your done.

This is caused by a database design issue in PIWIK, you can fix it by opening MySQL workbench or phpmyadmin and editing the database table column as follows.

As you can see we've edited the piwik_log_link_visit_action.idlink_va design "Data Type" from INT(11) to BIGINT(11). 

INT is too small to run larger segments, so we need to switch it to BIGINT, the number just specifies the columns "display width" when output.

BIGINT

8 Bytes, -2^63 (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808) to 2^63-1 (9,223,372,036,854,775,807)

INT 

4 Bytes, -2^31 (-2,147,483,648) to 2^31-1 (2,147,483,647)

After you've done this apply and rerun your reports from either opening the piwik stats page or by command line, cron job, task manager task if you have one of these setup.

If using windows server, you can setup a batch file to run via task manager every 15 minutes or as needed depending on traffic and number of sites your run stats for. Here is what you update.bat file should looke like

mode con: cols=140 lines=40
php "(Drive):\PathtoPWIKwebsite\console" core:archive
timeout 30

Now set windows task manager to run this every x number of minutes.

That's it your done.
