Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73015&edit=1 ID: 73015 Comment by: bruno dot macadre at univ-rouen dot fr Reported by: ozgurh at gmail dot com Summary: Timezone database is corrupt error message appears Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.0.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi, I've got the same problem on a fresh ubuntu 16.04 server install. Without date.timezone defined in /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini nor in my pool definition, phpinfo(); works great and says : Default Timezone = Europe/Berlin date.timezone = No Value If I put a value to date.timezone in php.ini or pool conf file, the phpinfo(); hangs just before displaying Default Timezone. If I remove date.timezone value in php.ini and pool conf file and try this code : <?php date_default_timezone("Europe/Paris"); phpinfo(); ?> Instead of displaying phpinfo() I got this error message : Fatal error: date_default_timezone_set(): Timezone database is corrupt - this should *never* happen! in /www/index.php on line 3 Environment : Ubuntu Server 16.04 x64 PhP-FPM : PHP 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 (fpm-fcgi) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies PhP: PHP 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 (cli) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies Regards, Bruno Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-09-06 15:34:22] ozgurh at gmail dot com Here is the php.ini lines for date section. date/time support enabled "Olson" Timezone Database Version 0.system Timezone Database internal Default timezone UTC Directive Local Value Master Value date.default_latitude 31.7667 31.7667 date.default_longitude 35.2333 35.2333 date.sunrise_zenith 90.583333 90.583333 date.sunset_zenith 90.583333 90.583333 date.timezone UTC UTC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-09-05 00:32:37] ozgurh at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When I try to get date with $now = date('YmdHis'); command, sometimes (not all the time) I get PHP Fatal error: date(): Timezone database is corrupt - this should *never* happen! in line 78 error. When I restart php70-php-fpm everything just works perfect for a while (~ from 6 hours to 24 hours) then same error appears again (as I said not all the time it appears 1 in every 2 or 3 requests). I Installed php 5.6.25 on the same environment and everthing perfectly works. It's look like it appears only in 7.0.10 I have 8 servers with php 7.0.10 and 8 servers with php 5.6.25.I get this error message in all of the 7.0.10 servers and never seen this message in 5.6.25 servers. I installed php 7.0.10 with yum install.
