Cannot Set date.timezone In php.ini file

Question

I'm using php5.5 and getting this error whenever I used the date function in PHP:

 Warning: phpinfo(): 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 the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/www/info.php on line 1 

the loaded configuration file is here:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini  

so I changed the date.timezone setting into this:

[Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = Asia/Jakarta  ; http://php.net/date.default-latitude ;date.default_latitude = 31.7667  ; http://php.net/date.default-longitude ;date.default_longitude = 35.2333  ; http://php.net/date.sunrise-zenith ;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333  ; http://php.net/date.sunset-zenith ;date.sunset_zenith = 90.583333 

Then I restart the server:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 

but still getting this error, I tried to check the .ini file in the Additional ini file location but none of it is overriding the date.timezone setting

I've checked the php.ini file permission, but still not working please guide me to solve this problem, thanks..

Answer 1

Try this:

date.timezone = "Asia/Jakarta" 

Edit:

Let's locate the correct php.ini. Fire this within apache / nginx / whatever web server deamon your using (because the command line version may be different by the one used by it).

<?php phpinfo(); ?> 

What's the .ini in the output? Still the same?

Edit2:

After the php.ini edit, just restart the webserver (apache or nginx) ...
