"The timezone could not be found in the database" - caused by incorrect /tmp and /logs folder paths
I have just upgraded my site to Joomla 3.1.1 and Kunena 3 an cannot access the forum pages
Whenever I try and open the forum I have the following error message displayed
DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time string (jerror) at position 0 (j): The timezone could not be found in the database
I have set the time zone information the site 'configuration.php' file as follows after initial site access issues
public $offset = 'Europe/London';
public $offset_user = 'Europe/London';
The same issue occurs if I set the time zones to UTC
After much searching around on the internet - good old Google - I eventually found the solution.
The error was actually caused by incorrect paths to the temp & logs folders. Strangely only the logs directory was being reported as unwritable in Joomla System Information.
The original paths were
/var/www/logs
/tmp
After changing the paths to the following the forum now works OK
../logs/
../tmp/
