I am new to mediawiki.
I finally got PHP email working (Windows, Apache etc.) how was I to know the "true" php.ini is in the Apache/bin folder.
Anyway php email works now I am trying to have a confirming email sent to a new signup.
Here is the strange error I am seeing:
Could not send confirmation mail. Check address for invalid characters.
Mailer returned: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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 '-5.0/no DST' instead
Please use . where? why? what?
Thanks for the help.
