Nagios Support Forum

I use a preconfigured Linux image that has the time zone set to "date.timezone = Etc/UTC" in /etc/php.ini before I do a full install of Nagios XI.

Everything is fine until I log in for the first time ("date.timezone = Etc/UTC" is still set after the full install). After that, the time zone is unset "date.timezone = " in /etc/php.ini and /var/log/httpd fills up with this error:

[Sun Sep 20 03:35:08 2015] [error] [client 192.168.1.55] PHP Warning: date(): 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 'UTC' for 'UTC/0.0/no DST' instead in /usr/local/nrdp/server/plugins/nagioscorepassivecheck/nagioscorepassivecheck.inc.php on line 106

Any suggestions? I was going to tinker with install.php or utils-timezones.inc.php, but I thought I'd consult the forums first.

Thanks.

We assume that you don't set your timezone manually and we'll happily do it for you under Admin --> System Settings. Is this not a possible scenario for you... meaning can you simply unset it prior to doing the Nagios final install?

You probably don't need to reinstall, just delete date.timezone anywhere you have it configured in php.ini or php.d/* and then re-set it in the XI interface, I bet everything will work like a charm.

I don't see Admin --> System Settings. Here are my options:

I'm using Nagios XI Version 2012R2.9

How do you reset the XI interface?

Thanks.

What version of XI are you running?
