I just ran into a strange issue. For seemingly no reason a fresh local install of SS via Composer, I'm getting the date.timezone in my php.ini file error when I run the installer. I'm 100% positive my ini file is correct. Adding "php_value date.timezone America/Los_Angeles" to my .htaccess file removes the error and now I can install, but I'm wondering what the cause of this error is to avoid the headache in the future. Any suggestions?

FYI - This is an old issue, at least since 2011: http://www.silverstripe.org/community/forums/installing-silverstripe/show/15398/

Hey, just something to check... I have been caught on this a couple of time too... make sure you have edited the correct php.ini file... sometimes the command line php is using a different php.ini file.

Hope that helps, worth a look. Let me know how you get on.

Of course!

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini was set, but /etc/php5/cli/php.ini wasn't.

Thanks!
