I just upgraded my site to the latest 2.2 version yesterday and am having the following issues. When logging into the control panel, I’m given the following error message:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: date_default_timezone_get(): 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/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead

Filename: libraries/Core.php

Line Number: 227

Reading through the forums, I contacted my host Media Temple who have confirmed that my php.ini file has a default timezone set to ‘America/New_York’ time but the error message is still displaying.

Once logged into my control panel, most of the top navigation can not be clicked so I can not edit or configure the site.

What would you suggest I try as the next step to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Please ignore this message, the tech at Media Temple had no idea what he was talking about.

As a reference for others using Media Temple’s dv service, I’m not familiar in how to change the default timezone in the php.ini file through ssh (and tech support won’t do it) so I was able to resolve my issue by creating a .htaccess file for the site with the following code:

php_value date.timezone America/New_York

Of course this is something that needs to be done per site, where changing the php.ini file would probably fix the issue server wide, but after a few hours of trying to understand ssh, I gave up. Hope this helps!

Glad you are up and running again. What you have shrived to do is the correct solution. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
