SOLVED! E_STRICT errors when clearing the cache and when installing an extra

This is the error I receive when clearing the cache and installing an extra using the package manager.

E_STRICT information: strftime() [function.strftime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CET/1.0/no DST' instead [ed. note: cas-designz last edited this post 12 years, 5 months ago.]

You need to set your PHP's date.timezone ini setting.

Manually edit the .ini file, or does setting the it in system settings do the same?

Manually edit the .ini for now.

I uncommented the date.timezone and set it for the timezone my server is located.

The Console popped up and didn't like my choice:

E_STRICT information: strftime() [function.strftime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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/Los_Angeles' for 'PST/-8.0/no DST' instead

That last bit "PST/-8.0/no DST" is interesting.

Did you restart your webserver software? It should pick up the new settings after that.

I always forget to restart Apache. That cleared up the error.

@all thanks for the reactions.

Editing the php.ini file did the trick for me.




MODX Revolution 2.2 is great!

Please mark this post as SOLVED.

This fix didn't work for me. I added this line to php.ini in root directory



I then cleared cache of browser and of site from inside manager and no joy. I then logged out of site and tried to log back in and the extended message remained.

Now I can't log in at all.
