I think it is a permission problem.
I user on IP.de also had this problem.
I solved it (for sure not the best way)
OPEN
includes/functions.php
FIND
if (!defined('STRIP'))
{
// If we are on PHP >= 6.0.0 we do not need some code
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '6.0.0-dev', '>='))
{
define('STRIP', false);
}
else
{
define('STRIP', (@get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? true : false);
}
}
REPLACE WITH
if (!defined('STRIP'))
{
// If we are on PHP >= 6.0.0 we do not need some code
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '6.0.0-dev', '>='))
{
define('STRIP', false);
}
else
{
define('STRIP', (@get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? true : false);
}
}
date_default_timezone_set ('Europe/Berlin');
For you it should be
date_default_timezone_set ('America/Chicago');
