Warning: date() [function.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.

Sometimes, when you compile custom PHP for a domain, you may encounter the following error when we call phpinfo page.

Warning: date() [function.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 ‘America/New_York’ for ‘EDT/-4.0/DST’ instead in /home/public_html/admin/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php on line 40

Inorder to fix this, go to the corresponding php.ini file and add the following:. Please note that the time zone used depends on the error.

date.timezone = “America/New_York”

Caused by SystemException in API_Linux.cpp:444: execve() for program “/usr/local/php-5.3.8/bin/php-cgi” failed: No such file or directory

Upon compiling a custom PHP 5.3 for a single domain in the server, I encountered the above error while calling the domain after compiling the custom PHP. Turns out the file ‘/usr/local/php-5.3.8/bin/php-cgi’ was missing. Upon checking in detail, I narrowed down the error to the configure options used while compiling PHP 5.3.

./configure –disable-cgi –other options.

Always make sure to enable cgi while compiling PHP as suPHP. So, the final configure option would look like

./configure –enable-cgi

Purge/Delete button missing in Horde webmail client

In certain cases, the client complains that the ‘Purge Deleted’ button is not visible in horde email client . And when you login to his account you too see that the button is missing .

In that case, do the following :

# Click on ‘Options’ button from the top menu
# Under the section ‘Mail Management’ click on the button ‘Deleting and Moving Messages’
# Un-check the option –
“When deleting messages, move them to your Trash folder instead of marking them as deleted.”
Then click on ‘Save Options’ button below .
Now if you check back to your INBOX, you will find the ‘Purge Deleted’ button at the bottom right hand corner below the mail list .

softaculous requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator

Sometimes, when you are trying to install softaculous in a cPanel server, you will see this error.

softaculous requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator

So, you will check Tweak Settings in cPanel/WHM and you can see Ioncube is enabled. Still, you may get the same error. In such cases, there is a simple fix. Just change PHP loader in Tweak Settings in WHM to none, and change it to Ioncube again and try again to install softaculous. It will work this time.
