Timezone error : Invalid date.timezone value 'Asia/Calcuttaextension', we selected the timezone 'UTC' for now

[lovedigit]

Hello,

This is my first post on the website. Sorry, I din't went to the introduction section straight up. I am getting the following error on the website. The website was working fine before upgrading the php version. It would be a great help if someone could help me sort this out.

I have searched many other forum and this seems to be right place to ask for help. You guys seems to have a giant active community.

 

I don't have much knowledge about the php and stuff and I can't pay my developer to fix this

You're PHP setup has an invalid value for the date.timezone setting in php.ini. You need to determine what the correct setting should be and then update the php.ini and restart the server.

 

Based on what you have, and the list at http://us1.php.net/manual/en/timezones.asia.php I'd say you probably want to set it to 'Asia/Calcutta'

The Timezone issue has been fixed.

I did the following:


-->> Created the Customized php.ini file under the document root.
-->> There was a problem with the 'Timezone' line in php.ini which I rectified.

[
date.timezone = "Asia/Calcutta"
extension=pdo.so
]

Above lines must be in a seperate line which was earlier in the same line.

If you set date.timezone = "UTC" in your custom php.ini file by default you should get a current local time of the unix server (machine).
