New Install: Having trouble

[italynstylion]

I'm running into issues when installing a new vBulletin forum. I've run through the install script and it finishes. Then, I use my file explorer to delete the "install" directory and all of it's files. Following the deletion, I then proceed to click the "admin cp" button. I try and log in and I get the following error...

Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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/Chicago' for 'CST/-6.0/no DST' instead in ..../includes/functions.php on line 4912

Thank you ForceHSS. Although the info wasn't in the post you linked I was able to sort of ferret around and find it through that link.

For anyone else who finds this post. Here's how I fixed it...

PHP Code:
define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);

Note: You must have downloaded the 4.2.2 package on or after Nov 1st 2013 for this to work.
If you downloaded it before then you will need to redownload and update the files on your server.

This will bypass the additional error reporting.

That is not a fix it only stops the error showing. The fix needs to be put into the php.ini file. And post 4 of the above link tells you this. Its best to read over all posts first before posting
