 In the server logs there is an error:

 "date() [<a href='function.date'>function.date</a>]: 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."

 The fix is to set the timezone in PHP.ini.  The following line needs added
 somewhere in PHP.ini:

 date.timezone = "UTC"

 Note:  This is universal time.  The user may want to change it their
 timezone setting.

 Prior to PHP 5.3 this was not an issue.  This just simply cleans up the
 install and the logs.
