Centos – PHP Fatal error: date(): Timezone database is corrupt

centosselinuxWordpress

I installed wordpress to CentOS from EPEL:

yum install wordpress

And it can only work if I manually disable SELinux. Otherwise I see this error:

PHP Fatal error: date(): Timezone database is corrupt – this should
never happen! in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 105, referer: http://www.myblog.com/wp-admin/

ls -Z /usr/share/zoneinfo
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Africa
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 America
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Antarctica
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Arctic
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Asia
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Atlantic
...
(many lines skipped)

How can I fix this?

Once again your files have the wrong SELinux security contexts. This is the same problem you had before.

At this point I suggest you relabel, not only the immediately affected files, but the entire filesystem.

restorecon -r -v /

Centos – cron running at different timezone and date command shows different time zone

More than likely not your problem, but worth a mention -- If your /etc/localtime changes after crond has loaded, it will continue to be stuck in the previous timezone. Simply restart/reload crond, and it will pick up this change.

Another 'gotcha' is that cron will adhere to the TZ environment variable. This can be set in-line in a crontab, affecting any lines that follow it, but it seems more likely that TZ is getting set in the environment that loads crond.

I just tried a couple variations (tweaking the hr/min fields) on the following to determine if/when these two jobs would be run. The output that gets stuffed into /tmp/tzout.localtime should also give you some hints about if $TZ is somehow getting set in the environment that's loading crond or not.

* * * * *     echo $TZ `date` >> /tmp/tzout.localtime
TZ=GMT
* * * * *     echo $TZ `date` >> /tmp/tzout.gmt

While I don't claim to know exactly where your problem lies, hopefully this sheds a little light on the solution!

Linux – Mail Queue Fatal Error

Looking at the log files, I'd say this is your problem:

2011-05-15T16:36:01.835702-07:00 ip-XXX-XX-XX-XX lmtpunix[19520]: verify_user(user.root) failed: Mailbox does not exist

Obviously if the mailbox doesn't exist, mail cannot be delivered. You'll have to either create an empty mailbox (with correct permissions and in the right place) or you'll need to put a working alias into /etc/aliases for root, and then re-run sendmail -q.
