4.0 time zone error during install

Thursday 03 January 2008 12:07:34 pm

When trying to install ez 4.0 (FreeBSD VPS, Apache2, PHP5, MySQL 5), I 'm getting a fatal error after selecting Language Support. No debug details are listed after the error occurs.

From the apache log:

PHP Strict Standards: strftime() [<a href='function.strftime'>function.strftime</a>]: 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 'UTC' for 'GMT/0.0/no DST' instead in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ezpublish-4.0.0/lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php on line 879

Seems similar to the problem discussed below. I have tried adding a time zone to php.ini, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing the problem?

Are you sure your editing the correct php.ini file? (use phpinfo() to see the correct file)
Did you remember to restart apache?

If it still dosn't work you can use the ezpublish site.ini setting mentioned in the forum thread you linked to.

Try

date.timezone = Europe/Brussels or similar

for more, see: http://be.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

I don't see CET in this list

Sorry for the confusion, I was looking at the wrong part of the log. The timezone issue appears to be fine now. I'm actually using date.timezone=America/New_York with no apparent problems.

As for the fatal error, I'm using php 5.2.4
I came across this in apache2/logs/error_log:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ezpublish-4.0.0/kernel/setup/steps/ezstep_site_types.php on line 611

line 611 in ezstep_site_types.php:
$dom = new DOMDocument( '1.0', 'utf-8' );

I found php5-xml-5.1.6_3 listed as an installed package when I ran pkg_info, and php5/etc/extensions.ini has extension=xml.so enabled.

This is also what I get from phpinfo for the xml section:

XML Support active
XML Namespace Support active
EXPAT Version expat_2.0.0

Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

I don't even have a dom section. Seeing as how I've found very little relating to freebsd specific issues in the forum, it seems apparent that my troubles are related to my host's default configuration, so I'll take it up with them. Thanks everyone for your help and patience.

If you are on eZ Publish 3.x, yes, if your on eZ Publish 4.x (php 5) you should not install php-dom since it will interfere with the php-xml package that are included by default in php 5.x (not included by default on fedora/redhat/centos for some reason, there you need to add the php-xml extension yourself with yum as pointed out above).
