Manage Plugin 0.6.2 - Debian 7.1 - Cacti 0.8.8a

[MrMikeE]

I have an Ubuntu server running Cacti 0.8.8a and the Settings and Manage plugin. There are no issues on that server. I am in the process of installing a new server with Cacti 0.8.8a on it. This server is Debian 7.1. I installed the Cacti package and its up and running. I installed the Settings plugin with no issues. It works fine as well. Once I install the Manage plugin I get nothing but a blank white screen until I rename the Manage directory. Something with this plugin doesn't seem to work correctly. I followed the info in the README about moving the plugin directory and it doesn't appear to cause any issues with the Settings plugin. Anyone run into this issue before?

Debian specific info from README:
* Create a directory /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins:
mkdir /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins
* Move all content of /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins to
/usr/local/share/cacti/plugins
mv /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/* /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins/
* Remove the empty /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins directory
rmdir /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins
* Create the following symlinks:
ln -s /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins
ln -s /usr/share/cacti/site/include /usr/local/share/cacti/include
ln -s /usr/share/cacti/site/lib /usr/local/share/cacti/lib

Thanks for any input.

Could you please have a look at your /var/log/cacti/ log files and post errors here? I expect to see something in at least error.log. Else, you could have a look in /var/log/apache2/error.log (assuming you run apache).

It might be that I overlooked something in the description in README.Debian.

Seems like the plugin is not up-to-date for php 5.4. See e.g. http://bugs.cacti.net/view.php?id=2216. Please ask the plugin provider to fix this, or check the fix in svn and apply it yourself.

[MrMikeE]

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the direction.

As workaround, I just comment define_syslog_variables() in setup.php and manage_check.php files. The installation passed successfully.
