Weathermap plugin PHP error

[mcthcc]

Cacti Version 1.2.11
Weathermap 0.98a (I believe this is still correct)

My weathermap stopped updating after I edited the .conf file (I simply updated a data source) and now the plugin has disappeared from my Cacti server completely. In the admin logs, I see these messages right around the last timestamp that the weathermap updated. Any ideas?

I enabled the Weathermap plugin by going to Configuration>Plugins and enabling the plugin on the Cacti GUI. Then the service dies almost immediately after:

After that, I made some small edits to the .conf file of the map. A node name didn't match between a node stanza and a connected link stanza. Once I made them match, the map is updating now.

[Howie]

Was there anything unusual about the node name? (spaces, funny characters...)

A link with a non-existent node name doesn't usually cause so much trouble!
