internal_error date_default_timezone_set() after update 4.0.4 to 4.5.2

My site is joshames.com. It is currently in debugging mode and I’m getting the following error:

Tag error: <txp:rsd/> -> Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist on line 968

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_pref() in /users/home/neko2001/domains/joshames.com/web/public/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(512) : eval()’d code on line 62

I can log into textpattern and everything looks fine on the diagnostics. I am using textpattern 4.0.4. I had to change my hosting and did a database export/import to the new server if that is of any help.

txp:rsd was introduced in v4.0.7

I’d recommend to upgrade to a more secure version of TXP. This might involve updating some of your plugins as well. If in doubt, ask here.

Great. That would explain it. So I went ahead and updated to the latest version. It’s working, but now I have another error, which is:

internal_error “date_default_timezone_set() [function.date-default-timezone-set]: Timezone ID ‘GMT-05.0’ is invalid”
in /users/home/neko2001/domains/joshames.com/web/public/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php at line 3031.

adminErrorHandler()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:3031 date_default_timezone_set()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1560 timezone::is_dst()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1594 tz_offset()
textpattern/include/txp_admin.php:381 safe_strftime()

Any clue on this one?

That’s the first occurrence of this error here. I’ll transfer this topic to the Troubleshooting section and adjust the title accordingly.

Do you have a date.timezone set in PHP’s configuration file (php.ini or per-directory user.ini)? If not, then you need to.

I checked my php.ini file and it is set to date.timezone = UTC
So I changed it to date.timezone = “America/New York” but that didn’t work. I don’t know php so I was just guessing based on a quick google search.

Ok, it looks like I just had to reset my time zone to New York in the text pattern preferences and now it’s working fine. Thanks for your help everyone!
