newbie: 'It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone set

[neuronetv]

just checked my zm log and it has loads of these error messages:
'Unknown error type: [2] gettimeofday(): 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 gett'
so I suppose I need to use ntp, but I don't know where this setting is.....

hi neuronetv...

im a nooby too and is having same problem...im an hour out

i did some reading and adjusting time using ntp can be bad for things

so i found a city in the correct time zone and set it for that... it was ok for a while but now it is back too running an hour in advance....

and im running an hour behind because of it with still not being able to fix it...

please post your solution when you find it

Did you fix it?

[robertbruce]

HI Paco,

nahh, couldn't fix it, again.....

i started another thread nagging about the difficulty in searching common terms like set time....

I found a whole lot of php files... i went throug most of them but couldnt find that setting...

system time if fine
video time stamping is right
zoneminder consol page is out an hour

this is what i am trying to do
-update/check my PHP.INI files to have an appropriate value for date.timezone, in my case, "Australia/Brisbane
