PHP Warning: strftime() & simplexml errors

My logs continue to fill up on my Nagios server. So I ran a
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log to see what was the culprit. I'm getting a tone of the following two error messages.
Code: Select all
[error] [client 192.168.110.49] PHP Warning: strftime(): 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 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PDT/-7.0/DST' instead in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/utilsl.inc.php on line 381, referer: http://192.168.100.77/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/tac.php
Code: Select all
[error] [client 192.168.110.96] PHP Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 2: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/utils-backend.inc.php on line 27, referer: http://192.168.100.77/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?show=process
So this is what I've done so far to verify and troubleshoot (for error #1). I have no idea what is causing the second error message. IP address x.x.110.49 and x.x.110.96 are workstations connecting to the Nagios XI GUI.
-I've verified that the settings in
/etc/php/php.ini for the timezone is correct.
-Verified the date and time is correct on the CentOS server.

I've also noticed that my Host Status Summary and Service Status Summary show 0 across the board, except for UP under Host Status Summary. Does this have anything to do with that second error? If not, I can open a separate thread for that issue.

Are you sure the line isn't commented out in the file?
Did you restart apache after making the change?
The second error is usually caused by output being created before the backend returns the XML.
Have you added/modified any components/dashlets or updated /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php recently?

Code: Select all
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone
date.timezone = America/Los Angeles
Here's what I got in my config.
I've made no changes to the components/dashlets, and no updates were performed. That's why I find it so odd that it's not working. Quite frankly, I've neglected the server and came back to it to finely tune it.

This is not valid, change
Code: Select all
date.timezone = America/Los Angeles
to
Code: Select all
date.timezone = America/Los_Angeles
then restart apache

I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something but aren't those the exact same? Do I need to add quotes?

So you might think I'm dumb and blind, but I really didn't see the underscore. I'm using Chrome as my browser. Here is a screenshot. If I quote his post, I can see the underscore. Weird.

That did the trick though, those errors are now gone.
Thanks for the help!
@ scottwilkerson
I look forward to hearing you speak at the Nagios Conference this year. I'll be there!
