Description

Dear Developers,

I already posted this on the Piwik Forum but was asked to post it on GitHub as well.

Due to a shared server I have to run Auto-Archiving via Webcron. I followed the instructions provided by Piwik to implement the Auto-Archiving via Webcron. But when I paste the URL (https://subdomain.domain.com/misc/cron/archive.php?token_auth=correct-token) into my browser, I get the following message:

Error: Die Methode 'runCronArchiving' existiert nicht oder ist im Modul '\Piwik\Plugins\CoreAdminHome\API' nicht verfügbar.

Which translates to: Error: The method 'runCronArchiving' does not exist or is not available in the module '\Piwik\Plugins\CoreAdminHome\API'.

Does anybody have a clue what I may be doing wrong?

I do have an old install of Piwik with Auto-Archiving enabled (also with Webcron) and this installation runs without any problem.

Thanks in advance for your help! It is very appreciated.

Research direction
Investigate the error by checking if the 'runCronArchiving' method exists in the 'plugins/CoreAdminHome/API.php' file. Review the forum thread linked in the issue for additional context. Compare the current installation with an older working version to identify changes. Ensure the web server is configured correctly for HTTPS and that the archive.php script is accessible.
