date() [function.date] error in wordpress and joomla

Postby mrjusta » 04. September 2009 18:01

Ive just tried to set up wordpress and joomla on xammp, and both pieces of software are producing this error
Warning: 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 'Europe/London' for '1.0/DST' instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\schema.php on line 237

we have tried reinstalled joomla and it still comes up with this error even after changing the time settings, so i think xammp has a bug rather than wordpress and joomla.

if anyone has any ideas on what could be the problem it would be most appreciated.

even after changing the time settings,

The timezone is already setup after a normal XAMPP installation...

Thats the bit I don't understand you are right it was set up as part of the installation but that is the error message we get - I notice when we try to install xammpp again there are lots of instances of file could not be created - any ideas - we are obviously new to this and just followed all instructions in Joomla quick set up guide - many thanks!

Which files?

BTW:
and just followed all instructions in Joomla quick set up guide

Have you read the Joomla requirement? I don't think it's compatible to the current PHP version...

You can't install (to the same location), while XAMPP is still running.

Thanks that has certainly cured the time errors - now my problem is within Joomla I get this error:

Warning: Parameter 1 to modMainMenuHelper::buildXML() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla15\libraries\joomla\cache\handler\callback.php on line 99

Guess I am doomed lol - thanks for your help !

Sorry. I don't know anything about Joomla.

I guess in a Joomla support forum you find more people which have knowledge about Joomla.

like Wiedmann refered:
Joomla isn't compatible with PHP5.3 yet.

Support for PHP5.3 is announced for the next stable Joomla release (v1.5.15). It is recommend to wait for this release.

Your one error could be fixed in modules/mod_mainmenu/helper.php:

Search for
Code: Select all
function buildXML(&$params)

and replace with
Code: Select all
function buildXML($params)


but nobody can say, that your Joomla will work well after that!
I still recommend to wait for the next stable Joomla release.
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!

It's like porn for programmers 8)
