Tips on how to debug Media Manager
Media Manager is a very complicated plugin. I say that not to pat myself on the back, but to acknowledge the difficulty of troubleshooting people's problems, and the ability for people to diagnose their own problem. To help me in my development efforts I create a "debug mode" for Media Manager that can turned on by editing MT_HOME/plugins/MediaManager/lib/MT/Plugins/MediaManager/App.pm. If you look for a line that looks like:
$DEBUG = 0;
And change it to:
$DEBUG = 1;
Then next you make a request to Media Manager, a ton of status and debugging information will be output to STDERR, which in most cases means your web server's error log. It is very handy and may often point you in the right direction if things are not working for you.
Obviously, you should never have to resort to this, but just in case, it is there.
