Piwik Error: User ‘anonymous’ doesn’t exist.
There is an easy fix to this; login to phpmyadmin, or whatever you want to use to access the database and execute the following query on the db for your piwik install:
INSERT INTO `piwik_user` (`login`,`password`,`alias`,`email`,`token_auth`,`date_registered`) VALUES ('anonymous', '', '', '', '', NOW());
Basically piwik needs to have an anonymous user setup in the DB as it looks for it when you try and access the settings.

Excellent post! My problem is solved. I’m certain it’s not necessary, but I also went in and restricted the anonymous user to not have access to any profiles. I know it’s overkill, but safety first.
