I am currently experiencing a strange problem. on our QA environment, when I enter a link in CHROME, and view it in GA Debugger, i see 

_gaq.push processing "_setAccount" for args: "[UA-22096768-1]":  ga_debug.js:24

_gaq.push processing "_setDomainName" for args: "[marilyn.ca]":  ga_debug.js:24

_gaq.push processing "_trackPageview" for args: "[]":  ga_debug.js:24

Track Pageview

which is good, but I don't see any more responses coming back after that. But on my local environment, I do see a GA response coming back.

Any ideas on why? code deployed to both environment are the same. such as the tracking beacon, all the utm parameters, and etc

Please advise.

many thanks

  • I followed what Google recommended, put that above the element, it still didn't help though – doglin Aug 08 '13 at 16:47

  • @mike just tried that. I don't think that was what is causing it though. Like I said, the strange thing is as long as I am running a stripped down test page that contains the call to GA, and then all the normal pages I test will work fine, like (http://marilyn.localhost/HealthyEating.aspx) I see the calls being made and it is all good. But as soon as I clear cache, restart the browser, load the URL (http://marilyn.localhost/HealthyEating.aspx) again, I don't see GA tracking anymore. It is behaving really strange – doglin Aug 08 '13 at 21:11
  • OK, i used AutoResponder in Fiddler, and verified that it would actually work if it were in production – doglin Aug 09 '13 at 21:10

Ok, I figured out this one. we are testing on our QA box. I had to make the following change

_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'none']);

It is actually strange because our hosting op informed us they white listed GA on QA box. In any case, that was the fix for my problem
