Timezone not set

[rabol]

Timezone should be set before using any time related functions otherwise your /tmp/logs/error.log will be full of warnings (and slow down the system)

This is actually set on controller "bootstrap", this is before controller's beforeFilter().
In Quickapps component, on initialize(); after load enviroment variables and user access checking process.
So it is actually set before using any time related function.

Are you getting timezone-related warnings?
This may be caused by other reason, because demo site and other tests installations doesnt show any time-related warning in error.log

yes I get time zone warnings:
2011-11-07 10:45:13 Warning: Warning (2): strtotime(): 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 in [/Web/quickapps/QuickApps-CMS/app/Cake/Network/CakeResponse.php, line 631]

I fixed it by adding a few lines to my .htaccess

Interesting,
But this warining is showing up on Dispatch process, this is just before load bootstrap.php.
So teorically you should get this warning in any cakePHP application.

Check the date.timezone ini option in your php.ini file. And make sure you have a value set on it.

(cakePHP use time functions on Dispatch process for setting up header info and creating Cache Files)
