Upgrade problem functions.php

[Zachery]

Then you can use the secondary option, to disable the errors, which is available in the 4.2.2 release thread. The version is not buggy, the version enabled displaying errors.

I added the php.ini file and the errors are no longer on my main pages but I still cannot access my admin control panel, it is full of the time zone errors and will not load. Upgrading to this buggy version was a huge mistake.

Good fix guys!!!

I upgraded 4.08 to 4.2.2 today and got the Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings... error message.
I spent an hour looking for the file php.ini you speak of with no luck. I finally called HostGator support and was told there isn't a php.ini but he was happy to make one for me and put it in /. Two minutes later there with was. I went to the first line of php.ini and added: <?php date.timezone="Greenwich" Issue resolved! To be honest I was kind of surprised it was that easy to fix.

Can you tell me exactly where you added this line of code?

Thanks

Anywhere after the line with <?php

[bogley]

Thanks a lot
I add in config php this line and all ok now

date_default_timezone_set ('America/Los_Angeles');

Can you tell me exactly where you added this line of code?

Thanks

I try to find this php.ini file and I didn't
Only in cpanel there is a php.ini QuickConfig and I can't change the code

[willy888]

Thanks a lot
I add in config php this line and all ok now

date_default_timezone_set ('America/Los_Angeles');

This is a server configuration issue and should be set at the server level in the php.ini file. However you can override the issue by setting a locale in your config.php file.

See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.da...mezone-set.php

You would use something like:

date_default_timezone_set ('America/Los_Angeles');

You can find all timezones here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Really should be set in the php.ini file in this section of code:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"

; http://php.net/date.default-latitude
date.default_latitude = 34.3981

; http://php.net/date.default-longitude
date.default_longitude = 118.1358

; http://php.net/date.sunrise-zenith
;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333

; http://php.net/date.sunset-zenith
;date.sunset_zenith = 90.583333

Turning display errors off would also eliminate the problem. They aren't errors, simply warnings. They are due to how PHP has changed over the years. Previous to vBulletin 4.2.2, they were suppressed because vBulletin didn't know how to deal with them.

I have the same problem. I upgraded and now my site is offline and everyone gets this error. Anyone have a solution to this problem. Where are the vbulletin techs.

Warning: date() [function.date]: 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/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead in ..../includes/functions.php on line 4912

I made the mistake to upgrade to 4.2.2 and I have all day my site off
Is there any solution to this problem , I can't login to admin panel either .
What can I do ?

[boggseric]

Found in another thread, I added:
date.timezone="America/New_York"

to my php.ini file and started apache and the error when away.
Running php 5.2.17

[Avimelech]

Same here after uploading 4.2.2 and upgrading. If there is not a reply soon I'll have to go back to the 4.2.1 I had going.

This has never happened to me with a vbulletin upgrade, but I guess now that I am on the previous major version (4 instead of 5), this is what can happen?

Same issue! What has to be done to fix this?
