PHP Warning - Maintenance.php - date_default_timezone_get()

[adTumbler]

I am getting the following warning in our PHP logs.

PHP Warning:  date_default_timezone_get(): 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.

i) This is a new install of 3.2.2 - I have checked that the system time zone is set - refer earlier issue in forums

ii) I have found the suggestion that I recompile Apache - but I can not do this as the site is hosted on a virtual server - which is provided by a service called Cloudways

Here is the full stack trace

This refers to the date.timezone setting that is in the php.ini file. That's where you need to set the appropriate timezone for your server.
