I’m attempting to install EE 1.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (using the native Apache, PHP and MySQL) for local development purposes and I am receiving the following error when I install.
However, installation is completed but if you turn on Error Reporting in the system directory you get this error message again. I am trying to determine if this is a Mac OS X issue or an ExpressionEngine bug. It states that the timezone identifier is spelled incorrectly.
Changing the timezone does not correct the problem either.
The Error
Warning: mktime() [function.mktime]: 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/Los_Angeles’ for ‘PDT/-7.0/DST’ instead in /Users/Jason/Sites/Local/devsite.com/public/install.php on line 648
