    Hi!

    After entering the setup URL in the browser I get following error message:

    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.

    Unfortunately the hosting provider (1&1, Germany) doesn't allow to modify the date.timezone setting (from "Europe/Brussels" to "Europe/Berlin"). Is there a way to run the MODX setup anyway or must I transfer the domain to another hoster? Why does MODX have a problem with Brussels (which has the same time as Berlin)?

    Thanks!

      Ok, could fix it!

      I wrote this line in the index.php of the setup folder:

      @ ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Berlin');
