I haddn't make any change, what should I do?

PS: I found cas documentation are really very confusing, there are always surprises waiting for you.

Hi same thing here.

I've successfuly installed and run cas 6.6.7 on the same machine

Did you copy the management configuration in the /etc/cas/config folder ?
