I'm installing Symfony on my Ubuntu system, everything was going fine until the very last moment when I was met with a screen that said:
ContextErrorException: Warning: 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 the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/www/symfony-test/app/cache/dev/classes.php line 5107

After many hours of trying ideas in other threads, editing php.ini and classes.php to something that might work, I have gotten absolutely nowhere! Has anyone else had this problem
