PHP Configuration: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings [duplicate]
Tchalvak, who commented on the original question, hit the nail on the head for me. I've been editing (I use Debian):
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
...which had the correct timezone for me and was the only .ini file being loaded with date.timezone within it, but I was receiving the above error when I ran a script through Bash. I had no idea that I should have been editing:
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
as well. (Well, for me it was 'as well', for you it might be different of course, but I'm going to keep my Apache and CLI versions of php.ini synchronised now).
Did you try to set timezone by func: http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
I happened to have to set up Apache & PHP on two laptops recently. After much weeping and gnashing of teeth, I noticed in phpinfo's output that (for whatever reason: not paying attention during PHP install, bad installer) Apache expected php.ini to be somewhere where it wasn't.
Two choices:
- put it where Apache thinks it should be or
- point Apache at the true location of your php.ini
... and restart Apache. Timezone settings should be recognized at that point.
Open your .htaccess file , add this line to the file, save, and try again :
php_value date.timezone "America/Sao_Paulo"
This works for me.
