What does this mean and how can I fix?

[Mort-lemur]

Hi,

 

When I run the error reporting and debugging contribution, I get a string of errors like this:

 

Error: date() [<a href='function.date'>function.date</a>]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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 'BST/1.0/DST' instead

File: includes/classes/seo.class.php

Line: 2359

 

The same error is reported several times on different lines of different files.

 

Is this something I can fix or does it need to be done at server level?

 

Thanks

You running PHP 5.3 or thereabouts?

 

Try adding the following to near the top of the application_top.php files:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

and see if the messages go away.

Brilliant ! Wiped out 7 errors all in one go!

 

Thank you so much.

My next set of errors are a set of "Already Defined errors" such as these:

How can I rid myself from these?

 

Many Thanks

Find the file(s) where those are defined:

define('CATEGORIES_IMAGES_BOX','some kind of text');

You either have them being defined in two different files, or you have the same file being included or required twice.

The CATEGORIES_IMAGES_BOX_* defines are in the configuration database table.
