A login form with no errors.

What do you see instead?

Warning: date_default_timezone_get() [function.date-default-timezone-get]: 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/mister-user/public_html/database/admin.php on line 68

What version of the product are you using?

1.8.5

On what operating system?

``` This warning is harmless. Turn off error reporting, and it will go away. There is no clean way around it. I tried adding the line "date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get());", which fixes this warning most of the time, but apparently for you, it is causing it.

``` Just add a @ before date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get()); like this:

@date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get()); ```
