I installed Drupal 7 to see how there coming along, and I got this message in v6 also. But, where do I set value to satisfy the warning message?

Warning: date_create(): 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 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PST/-8.0/no DST' instead in format_date() (line 2316 of /srv/www/drupal-7/drupal/includes/common.inc).

Is this setting in the php.ini config:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
;date.timezone =

...if it's this, then how should the value look or is it something that needs to be fixed in the common.inc?

That sounds like one of those strange PHP5.3.x quirks.

I get this error message too. Mac OS X provides PHP5.3.0.

Try entering the appropriate timezone setting in your php.ini file. e.g.

date.timezone = Europe/London

Available timezone options can be found at http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
