[Planetlab-devel] myplc in f12 - (was Re: Planetlab Issues)

[Thierry Parmentelat]

About the php warnings under f12, the quick & dirty workaround is just to define
date.timezone
in your /etc/php.ini
the php doc gives a detailed list of the available names
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

e.g. using UTC is achieved with
date.timezone = GMT

----
another known issue is with drupal not being excluded from the stock fedora repos after vtest-init-vserver (fedora 12 now exposes some drupal-5.xx I guess), preventing the vserver to yum update itself; adding
exclude-drupal
from the repos in question does the trick

----
I haven't been able to reproduce Bob's issue for logging in, in my case this went through without a glitch

----
not sure when this will make it in a stable release, so you might have to apply this manually until then

I tested it yesterday and  now for some reason, the web interface it doesn't work.  I think it has something to do with the vserver being updated.  When I run a  yum update on the vserver, this error occurs:
