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?

Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS

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());
