It seems there is a problem with running under php-fpm, adding the timezone to php.ini seems not to work.

I configured the php-fpm config file for that webspace with:

php_value[date.timezone] = "Europe/Vienna"

Then the time zone error went away.

Additionally I switched to Mysql and created the missing table tags as suggested here in the forum.

Maybe the information helps somebody else.

Thoma

changing the line
date_default_timezone_set($val);
to
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");
removed the message, but selfoss stopped with a blank page.

however, going back to the original code and adding the line
date.timezone = "Europe/Berlin";
to the php.ini did it!

so selfoss seems to work for me for now

I have unzipped selfoss, set up nginx using the suggested config, used phpmyadmin to set up the user and tables (and to test my PHP/MYSQL set ups).

When I visit the virtual host I have set up in nginx, I get:

Internal Server Error

PDO: Table 'selfoss.tags' doesn't exist

Any ideas? When I look at the tables in mysql, I see that selfoss has created three tables, so it would seem that permissions/configuration are correct.

As I have found in /daos/mysql/Database.php (https://github.com/SSilence/selfoss/blob/master/daos/mysql/Database.php), I run manualy in the mysql-client

mysql> CREATE TABLE tags (tag TEXT NOT NULL, color VARCHAR(7) NOT NULL) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Afterwards I also got the same date error. Even after changing libs/f3/base.php
221 case 'TZ':
222 /* date_default_timezone_set($val); */
223 date.timezone = "Europe/Berlin";
224 break;

Also, possibly part of the same issue, when I visit http://url/update I get:

Internal Server Error

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 'Europe/Moscow' for 'MSK/4.0/no DST' instead

PDO: no such table: tags

Which is slightly different than the error received from using mysql.

PHP 5.3.22-1~dotdeb.0 (fpm-fcgi) (built: Mar 3 2013 00:11:39)
php5-sqlite (5.3.22-1~dotdeb.0)
php5-mysql (5.3.22-1~dotdeb.0)
nginx (1.2.7-1~dotdeb.1)

Let me know if I can give you any more information that would aid in troubleshooting.

Which versions are you running?

php 5.4.13
httpd-2.2.3-76
php-pecl-sqlite-2.0.0-0.1
