Today, I started getting this error when trying to login to zoneminder:
ZoneMinder is not installed properly: php's date.timezone is not set to a valid timezone
Zoneminder has been running since last Wednesday when I installed it. Today, I get this.
In /etc/php.ini, I have date.timezone = America/New_York, which I added when zoneminder was installed.
Output from date: Tue Jan 31 15:56:26 EST 2017
Output from ll /etc/localtime: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 38 Jan 25 19:05 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
Been searching for hours for another file that may be overriding php.ini
Put a simple php page on your/the server (where zoneminder is running) with the "phpinfo()" function, and then look at the timezone information in the "date" section of the output.
If it isn't showing the correct value, check the location of the php.ini that is being used in the "Loaded Configuration File" value toward the top of that output.
By default, php doesn't use the system's TZ,
