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

I had the exact same problem with my SF2 installation.

To fix this just go into your php.ini file at /etc/php.ini and change your file to look like this (adjust your timezone to suit your local timezone):

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Module Settings ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Date] 
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions 
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone 
date.timezone = Europe/London
