Hi Harald,

Here it is:

PHP Warning: strftime() [<a href='function.strftime'>function.strftime</a>]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

I created a php.ini at my installation's root with the following line and it worked fine.

date.timezone=America/New_York

Obviously use whatever time zone you want. Also, not sure if this is a quick fix to a bigger bug, but it works fine for me now. This might be the best fix for me anyway since my hosting provider's servers are in a different time zone than me anyway, and I'd like it to use my local time zone.

Best,
Josh Hanson

Hi Josh..

That is absolutely the best solution to the issue :-) The issue is with an incorrectly configured PHP installation.

We can detect this though and fix appropriately, and will be included in the first v3.0.1 update package.

Kind regards,

I've tried your solution, created file php.ini with one line:
date.timezone=Canada/Mountain

in the root directory
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/oscommerce
and restarted apache server.

but it is not working. I've tried to modify: /etc/php/cli-php5.3/php.ini but still same error.
What am I doing wrong?

[Harald Ponce de Leon]

Hi All..

A bug report has been created to track this issue:

http://forums.oscommerce.com/tracker/issue-239-no-default-time-zone-set/

This issue is actually now fixed and will appear in the v3.0.1 update package that will be published in a few days.

Kind regards,

I've tried it, still the same error.
Why is it working for you folks and not for me :-/ ?
I'll have to wait for the updated version I suppose.

I don't have it at my php install directory, I have it at the location of my oscommerce directory next to the top level index.php file. Try it there. Let me know if it works.

Best,
Josh

This is the exact spot I put php.ini in, root server directory; there are only two files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache  554 Apr  1 18:32 index.php
drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 4096 Apr  1 18:32 osCommerce
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache   31 Apr  3 14:41 php.ini
drwxr-xr-x 6 apache apache 4096 Apr  1 18:32 public
