Common Issues 4.2.2

[Wayne Luke]

When viewing a page, you get warning, notice or deprecated messages.

First, search JIRA to see if there is a fix listed. If not, then add the following line to the top of your /includes/config.php file under the <?php line:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ (E_NOTICE | E_WARNING | E_DEPRECATED));

I am receiving a bunch of errors like this: Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

This is a server configuration issue and should be set at the server level in the php.ini file. However you can override the issue by setting a locale in your config.php file.

See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.da...mezone-set.php

You would use something like:

date_default_timezone_set ('America/Los_Angeles');

You can find all timezones here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Really should be set in the php.ini file in this section of code:

[noparse]
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"

; http://php.net/date.default-latitude
date.default_latitude = 34.3981

; http://php.net/date.default-longitude
date.default_longitude = 118.1358

; http://php.net/date.sunrise-zenith
;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333

; http://php.net/date.sunset-zenith
;date.sunset_zenith = 90.583333
[/noparse]

Turning display errors off would also eliminate the problem. They aren't errors, simply warnings. They are due to how PHP has changed over the years. Previous to vBulletin 4.2.2, they were suppressed because vBulletin didn't know how to deal with them.
