Answer 1

Your Profile ID might be wrong! Don't mess up between Profile ID and Account ID. Both are different!

Just login to your Analytics Account and go to settings by clicking "Admin" tab and if you notice the URL Address. It will be like below

https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?hl=en#management/Settings/a46773936w11870770pxxxxxxxx/

After the letter "p" you will get the 8 digit number. That's your profile ID number.

Note : Since google interface and frameworks are changing too fast nowadays, this solution is for current interface only and i cannot guarantee that it will work on future.

Answer 2

The login and password you are using doesnt have access to the profile id that you have given. Check the profile id and login and password again to be sure they are all corect. Im assuming you didnt use the ones you posted.

define('ga_email','test@gmail.com');
define('ga_password','test');
define('ga_profile_id','999999999');
