Now save and reload.

Happy coding!!!

This solution worked for me but in my case it was line 56.

Thanks for the help.

I still see the error:

Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting 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 '-5.0/DST' instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomlabeta\libraries\joomla\utilities\date.php on line 56

(Using Notepad++)

date.php Line 56 reads

Code: Select all

$this->_date = strtotime(gmdate("8-19-2010 10:39:45", time()));
c:\xampp\php\php.ini contains

Code: Select all


[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
;date.timezone = "America/Chicago"

; http://php.net/date.default-latitude
;date.default_latitude = 31.7667

; http://php.net/date.default-longitude
;date.default_longitude = 35.2333

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

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

Do I need to use the ful time zone as described in the error

Code: Select all

'America/Chicago' for '-5.0/DST'
or what should I do?

Just uncomment the line in php.ini by removing the semi-colon

Code: Select all

;date.timezone = "America/Chicago"

As a newbie to Joomla I want to relate my experience with this erro. What I did in my case I used a the ZIP file to install the latest XAMPP then followed the instructions for MySQL and then Joomla in that order and skipping a few steps along the way that landed me here.

After the joomla install I got the same error as posted here, along my 3 day search I ended up doing all these steps.

1. Run the SETUP script in XAMP in order to have it set the time zone for the server. Better yet read the README.xtx file because it helps avoid most rookie mistakes. I should know.

2. Edit the C:\xampp\php\php.ini file to match the time zone you are in like I did mine for America/Chicago

Code: Select all

[Date]
196     ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
197     ; http://php.net/date.timezone
198     date.timezone = "America/Chicago"
NOTICE: Make sure you take the ; off the front of the line in question because the semicolon comments your line out, so take it off.

3. Edit C:\xampp\htdocs\joomlabeta\libraries\joomla\utilities\date.php

( I had to undo my changes to line 56 to match this)

Code: Select all

52	function __construct($date = 'now', $tzOffset = 0)
53	{
54		if ($date == 'now' || empty($date))
55		{
56			$this->_date = strtotime(gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", time()));
57			return;
58		}
After all the changes restart the Apache server and MySQL and there is no more errors.

Hope this helps

Hi there,

I have downloaded the latest stable versions of joomla, xampp, PHP today and am having the exact same problem as the original poster.
Except that the php.ini file cannot be found anywhere!
I looked in Apache/bin, it's not there. Then I ran a search on my computer, which gave no results.
Any help wpuld be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Geraldine

I have updated both php.ini and date.php with the information listed on this post.

Joomla is running on a IIS server, <server administrator does not want to upgrade to apache>

I'm trying to understand what ja.php has to do with this error.

ja.php file is located in ...\Joomla\plugins\system\jalib20\core

i looked for the plugin Jalib20 and attempted to remove it but Its not listed as something removable.

For more info on the error please see this post - http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 0#p2274220

Wow...just reinstalled my OS and did a new install of Xampp, and Joomla for a site I am working on, and experienced this whole thing for the very first time in the years I've been using both...I have to say this is the most messed up thing ever.

Anyway, the only way I got mine to work is to add 'America/Los_Angeles' to the date in the xampp php.ini ....I tried Canada/Vancouver (which is where I am) and got the errors back, so I switched back to the America/Los_Angeles one and all functional again.

...like I said, this is the most messed up thing ever.

Also, one commented:
There is something wrong with the code itself.

Go to C:\xampp\htdocs\libraries\joomla\utilities\date.php

Line 52 creates a function called __construct. Notice how the underscore is too long. Highlight part of it and you'll see that it's actually two underscores. This is a mistake. Highlight one of the underscores and delete it. You should end up with _construct.
If that is a legitimate bug/error in the Joomla code, then this should be brought to the attention of the developers.

Cause you should have used America/Vancouver see http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php

Off of the research I have done, I have discovered that the reason this issue may occur is because of PHP 5.3

Downgrading or installing PHP 5.2 may resolve this error from occurring. I have not tested this myself but plan to.

I get the same error on a new joomla 1.5.22 installation and php 5.3 SO to fix it, of course nothing in this post worked.

I had the timezone set in php.ini and I'm on a live production server not XAMP

So to fix it I changed this in date.php from

Code: Select all

	function __construct($date = 'now', $tzOffset = 0)
	{
		if ($date == 'now' || empty($date))
		{
			$this->_date = strtotime(gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", time()));
			return;
		}
to

Code: Select all

function __construct($date = 'now', $tzOffset = 0)
	{
		date_default_timezone_set ("America/New_York");
		if ($date == 'now' || empty($date))
		{
			$this->_date = strtotime(gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", time()));
			return;
		}
I just added the function that the error kept asking for and that finally fixed my issue!

It is Feb 28th 2011. I have spent all day (literally the last 12 hours minus an hour total to eat and use the loo) trying to figure out why the install of joomla 1.5 was so impossible compared to the last time I installed it. Short version, had 1.5, went to 1.6, had problems, masters told me to use 1.5. Somewhere between the version changes, xampp changed the version of php they bundled in their piece. Between the forums of both joomla and xampp, I finally figured out all of the incompatibilities.
For any other frustrated newbies:
anything newer than xampp 1.7.1 uses a version of php that is not compatible w/ any joomla version. All the changing of php.ini files, and looking for library directories that don't actually exist, and searching out patches etc etc etc etc is an exercise in insanity.
Just remember when you download and install xampp, at least for windows xp, use 1.7.1 or 1.7.
Why joomla doesn't make this message the first thing you see on their download page is a question someone above my pay grade will have to answer. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to kick my dog and beat my kids. >:(

Hi Guys,

I was having the same problem and solved it in this way:

I created the php.ini in the root folder (Joomla Root Folder) of the domain - ../httpdocs, or ../public_html, or ../htdocs

Code: Select all

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
date.timezone = "Europe/London"
or whatever else your timezone is.

I have done this on all my servers as I had mirrored my sites on various domains. My solution worked on all.

Hope it helps you too. :)
