We haven't really been able to reproduce this on our normal development
or production machines.

Could it be a configuration problem on your server?

If so, I guess having the warnings in the error log until you fix it in
your php.ini is a good thing that we shouldn't silently work-around.

If not, then we'd need more information as to when this configuration
can occur.

Title:
  Wth php 5.3 starts to have a lot of warnings  It is not safe to rely
  on the system's time in apache logs

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  mahara 1.5 dev master
  php version :
  PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Nov  3 2011 12:00:26)
  Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
  Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

  With php set in full error reporting mode , my apache errors logs get
  filled with warnings about 'It is not safe to rely on the system's
  timezone settings'

  [Mon Jan 23 14:51:49 2012] [error] [client 134.214.152.108] [WAR] 6a (lib/mahara.php:2884) 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/Berlin' for 'CET/1,0/no DST' instead, referer: http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/mahara/user/find.php?limit=99

  I did fixed it by adding at the end of config.php

  // quick fix on my place
  //date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");

  //a better fix
  if(function_exists("date_default_timezone_set") and function_exists("date_default_timezone_get")) {
   @date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get());
  }

  But I guess it might be time to add to Mahara's site configuration a
  setting about 'server timezone' and use it 'a la Moodle'

  Cheers.
