Tried to install magento 1.8.1 to my hosting server. Everything look fine in the frontend, and I can login to backend and add category. However when I try to modify it(e.g: Catalog>Manage Products)in the backend its getting exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons. Did I make anything wrong during the installation? Don't know how to fix it! Thank you very much!

Try this

Create a new directory called tmp

Navigate to app/code/core/Zend/Cache/Backend/

Edit File.php

Change:

 protected $_options = array(
 'cache_dir' => 'null',

to

 protected $_options = array(
 'cache_dir' => 'tmp/',
