"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 error will go away if you edit your php.ini file to contain date.timezone = 
Europe/Berlin

The Timezone is set correct....

phpinfo()

date/time support   enabled
"Olson" Timezone Database Version   2011.14
Timezone Database   internal
Default timezone    Europe/Berlin

Is there another hint???

You can look on the errors on http://kb.senum.net or http://senum.net/testkb/

Problem solved.

You need to set the default Timezone in index.php

// Set up default timezone.
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');

I have added date.timezone = Europe/London to my php.ini file and I have added 
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); as the first line on index.php but 
I am still getting this error.
