In recent versions of PHP you may get:
Warning: getdate() [function.getdate]: 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'
Open the mysqlauth.php and UNCOMMENT (remove the hash
tag) in front of:
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
