i’m trying to install ZenCart on Ubuntu.
In the browser window on the installer page, on Step One I click ‘Click Here’ to begin installation. I get this error: ERROR: date.timezone not set in php.ini. Please contact your hosting company to set the timezone in the server PHP configuration before continuing.
so i downloaded the php.ini file from this dir. etc/php5/apached2/php.ini
i see this line: ;date.timezone = and change to date.timezone = America/New_York
note i removed the semi-colon and upload to server.
but still I get the same error when trying to run the ZenCart installer. does anyone know what i’m doing wrong?
