Hi All,
I am trying to set up a site locally using XAMPP 1.7.3 and Joomla 1.5. For some reason I am plagued with the following errors all over the frontend of my site, and in the article manager on the backend. I changed the php.ini specs on date.timezone = to 'America/New_York' but it is still not working. I made sure that that was the Loading Configuration file, and just cant get to the bottom of this. Any help is appreciated.
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/New_York' for '-5.0/no DST' instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla150\libraries\joomla\utilities\date.php on line 117
