phpmyadmin errors on the setup page? [solved]

asif2k · #1 12th March 2009, 04:56 AM

Hello,

I installed phpmyadmin on FC10. When I access the setup page.
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup , I see some warnings but I dont know what do they mean? Can someone please help me fix them? OR should I not worry about it?
below is the message I see on my phpmyadmin setup page.

Code:

Runtime Notice in ./libraries/common.inc.php#281
date_default_timezone_get() [function.date-default-timezone-get]: 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 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead

Backtrace

./libraries/common.inc.php#281: date_default_timezone_get()
./setup/lib/common.inc.php#18: require_once(./libraries/common.inc.php)
./setup/index.php#12: require(./setup/lib/common.inc.php)

thanks in advance

define a timezone in /etc/php.ini at line ~651, eg

Code:

date.timezone = Europe/London

(remove the semi-colon to uncomment the line)

then

Code:

service httpd restart

For a list of timezone formats available see http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

and your next question will be:

How do I get rid of this error?:

Code:

Cannot load or save configuration
Please create web server writable folder config in phpMyAdmin top level directory as described in documentation. Otherwise you will be only able to download or display it.

And the answer is, ignore the documentation, instead do this:

Code:

su -c 'mkdir /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config'
su -c 'chmod 777 /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config'
