PHPBB Index Problem

[Joshua Farrell]

So, I am having problems with my index at the other forums, and I don't know how to fix it. I have never edited my index.php file at all, so I shouldn't be getting what it states. I have tried clearing forum cache, and refreshing templates, but to no avail!

It states the following:

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /index.php on line 86: date() [function.date]: 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 'UTC' for 'UTC/0.0/no DST' instead

looks like you have tried to change the timezone settings

Looks like my host was updating their version of php, and it caused some minor errors. so I guess it is solved.

If anyone else has this problem, here is the fix:
Do the following by downloading the file common.php in your phpBB Forum root through FTP, then opening the file with Notepad , PSPAD, or similar. Then upload the common.php file back to your forum root.
Open: common.php
Find:

<span class="syntaxdefault">foreach </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(</span><span class="syntaxdefault">$cache</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">-></span><span class="syntaxdefault">obtain_hooks</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">()</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> as $hook</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br />{<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">    </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">@include(</span><span class="syntaxdefault">$phpbb_root_path </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'includes/hooks/'</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> $hook </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'.'</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> $phpEx</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">);<br />}&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxdefault"></span>

Add After:

<span class="syntaxdefault"></span><span class="syntaxcomment">// Timezone Fix.<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">date_default_timezone_set</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(</span><span class="syntaxstring">'Canada/Pacific'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">);&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxdefault"></span>

what if you don't want to set it to Canada or pacific time?

 

[Kashike]

To do that simply replace Canada/Pacific with one from list list:
