Hi all

I run a 1.5.25 site hosted on an linux using php 5.2.17. We need to move to a different server. I have copied the whole jolly thing over, altered the config and heypresto the site works except that I keep seeing

Code:
Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings....


The new server is running php 5.3.8

Now I don't know if this is relevant, but I read on some posts that 1.5 doesn't run with php 5.3 but then I also read that it does???

Has anyone got any ideas what might be wrong

The offending beast is at http://www.c9566644.myzen.co.uk/ and I;d really appreciate any help!

Thanks

PS I tried adding Code:

Code:
php_value date.timezone Europe/London
into my .htaccess file and just got server error

NERVOUS RESPONSE!!!!!!!


I do have a php.ini file that I can access in the home directory.

I added this to it:
Code:
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
date.timezone = "Europe/London"


and its works

BUT this worries me because I don't really know what I am doing other than cutting and pasting from viewtopic.php?t=363681

Is this all ok????

That looks good to me. strtotime was just complaining about an improper timezone maybe one wasn't configured in the OS or it was misconfigured. The php.ini line you added will fix that.

If you want to solve the real issue at heart (no reason to other than hobby, unless you end up having time discrepancies with other sites.). Post your OS, timezone you want, and what type of administrative privileges you have and i'll help you out.
