date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings

Question

Can anyone tell me why am I getting this error when running app/console in a brand new formatted macbook with the latest MAMP installed ?

Warning: da

Answer 1

At AppKernel.php write:

public function init() {
    date_default_timezone_set( 'Europe/Lisbon' );
    parent::init();
}

Since init() is deprecated (and will be remove in Symfony2 3.0) it is recommended to move the code in the constructor as in the following exemple:

public function __construct($environment, $debug) {
    parent::__construct($environment, $debug);
    // get rid of Warning: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone
    date_default_timezone_set( 'Europe/Paris' );
}
