Hello all! I did this upgrade this morning and got stuff messed up. My dedicated server is "managed" so I have no access to the php.ini file to edit it. BUT this worked for me... create a new php.ini file and in it put your timezone setting like
PHP Code:
date.timezone="America/New_York"
For my server putting it in /forums didn't work since it doesn't trickle down. So I put one in /includes and that seemed to clear everything up.
I didn't think those "warnings" were keeping me from the admin panel... but they were! Clear those with the above and you can get into your admincp.
Good luck!
Andrew
edit: I've forwarded that to vb support...
