Try:

• to set the timezone of your user account in your preferences
• to set date_timezone in your php.ini
• check your OS locales
• check for available updates of your ICU system packages and the PHP Intl extension

I found this here: humhub/humhub#2846

Hello,
The culprit is the default timezone set to "UTC" for the user.
If I change from UTC to Europe/whatever, it works.
Thanks for the feedback, ticket can be closed

By setting a timezone you are just "hiding" a problem with something else in your system/environment. This error indicates that something is wrong with (I guess) your ICU database.
But thats not a Kimai issue, so yes closing is my favorite as well ;-)

Oh and you can set a default timezone for new users in Administration/Settings.

My OS locales looks fine : [root@localhost ~]# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Tried to change date.timezone in php.ini but with no luck

ICU version looks also fine :
root@localhost ~]# php -i |grep -i icu
ICU version => 62.1
ICU Data version => 62.1
ICU TZData version => 2018e
ICU Unicode version => 11.0

I'll take the option of default timezone for new users in Administration/Settings.
Thanks !

I dno't know much about the ICU system. Found those on my servers:

ICU version => 64.2
ICU Data version => 64.2
ICU TZData version => 2019a
ICU Unicode version => 12.1

ICU version => 64.1
ICU Data version => 64.1
ICU TZData version => 2018i
ICU Unicode version => 12.0

But as long as it works with a "real" timezone instead of Zulu, I think you can ignore the problem.

BTW: this seems to be a bug in Symfony. I was wrong with my assumption above about the ICU database.
