What do these warnings during install mean? [solved]

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

What do these warnings during install mean? [solved]

Post by wmdvanzyl »

The site installed fine and cant find evidence of issues after the install in the admin section. I was just wondering if there is a way i can prevent this in the future?

Code: Select all

Warning: date_default_timezone_get() [function.date-default-timezone-get]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Africa/Johannesburg' for 'SAST/2.0/no DST' instead in install/index.php on line 49

It's related to this: http://blog.randell.ph/2010/04/15/warni ... -settings/ (setting your timezone explicitly)

I think its "timezone" in your cmsms config file if you can't get to your php config: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/configuration/config-file

The message is quite obvious.

Your php configuration (nothing to do with CMSMS) was set with an invalid timezone value.
