I have downloaded modx 2.0.0-pl basic revolution.
and copied it to C:\xampp\htdocs\ folder.
But whn i try to run http://localhost:100/modx/setup/index.php

FATAL ERROR: MODx Setup cannot continue.
To use PHP 5.3.0+, you must set the date.timezone setting in your php.ini. Please do set it to a proper timezone before proceeding. A list can be found here.

Could anyone suggest what am doing mistake?

hi guru,

add
php_value date.timezone 'Europe/Berlin'
to the .htaccess file.
Worked for me.

The (typical) PHP error message you don't see:

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 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead

Hi folks New to this Forum.

I tried to set up in my Lion with same problems. set up date/timezone and checked with simple php routine and get timezone as Europe/London, reset Apache but still getting error when trying to initiate setup..

Any advise would be welcome?

Hi again

Its the obvious that you miss like not removing the semi-colon to make it active, obvious but can cause you hours of grief

alcluith! THANK YOU! I can't believe I missed that.....editing the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file's timezone line works just fine for this issue.....gotta remove that semi-colon too! then after restarting apache things should move to the next error...likely adding write access to the cache dir hehe.
