PHP error 500 error

[sswari]

Ok, as promised, here is my next issue

With just a bit of testing, it seems that when I create a view for civicrm events, if I add one of the date fields, I get a pop up box with
_____
An error occurred at /sun/admin/build/views/ajax/preview/bobb.

Error Description: 500: Internal server error. Please see server or PHP logs for error information.

in it.

now, one thing I have noticed, is that on the config page for some of the dates, at the bottom, I have an option to set the date format. nothing changes that.

There are some fields, it seems that will not throw the error, but will not display the data either.

any thoughts?

Thanks.

Did you look at the logs for the details of the error? Please post that information.

[sswari]

forgot that part,

I can not seem to find the logs on this server, am working on getting them working.

I do have sudo privileges, but can not see to get the logs running. Have done a bit of research, I was just real tired last night.

Besides the PHP.log file, is there another default log these messages might be in?

Thanks

Ok, the apache error log does not seem to have anything but info on restarting when I restarted apache2.

I can not find any PHP logs, so I added

error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log

to php.ini in the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file

created a empty php_errors.log file

chown www-data php_errors.log

and no errors are being logged.

Still digging.

Just as an FYI, when I turn drupal logging to file and screen, I get a ton of these kinds of messages, I have read that they are only warnings and that civicrm is not gaurenteed to be warning free, but is there a fix in the future for them?

Thanks again

Can you ask your host for help with the error log?

> Sometimes, I really hate computers!!!!

Perhaps try an abacus instead?

Perhaps try an abacus instead?

I prefer just plain old sticks and stones.

will check to see if the server admin can help.

Ok, here is the error

An error occurred at /sun/admin/build/views/ajax/preview/NMSEA_Event_Calendar.

Error Description:
Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTime::__construct(): 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.

function render($values) {
        // get default time zone form Drupal
        $timezone = variable_get('date_default_timezone', 0);
        $value = $values->{$this->field_alias};

50           $gmt = $date->getOffset();  //gives me the offset to GMT
51          $value = strtotime($value);
             //set the timestamp to GMT
            $value = $value + $gmt;
            //set the timestamp to site default
            $value = $value - $timezone;

            if($value) {
                $values->{$this->field_alias} = $value;
            }
        }

        return parent::render($values);
    }
}
Trying to see If I can figure it out, please help if you have any ideas.
