If you installed a MantisBT instance on a system with a recent PHP version, there’s the chance you get a warning saying:
SYSTEM WARNING: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting 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 ‘Europe/Berlin’ for ‘CET/1.0/no DST’ instead
A quick way to get rid of this is to set an explicit time zone.
Just open the config_inc.php file and add the date_default_timezone_set() line.
-
<?php
-
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Rome");
-
$g_hostname = 'localhost';
-
$g_db_type = 'mysql';
-
$g_database_name = 'db_name';
-
$g_db_username = 'user';
-
$g_db_password = 'secret';
-
?>
Please refer to this list to discover the available time zones.
