PHP Fatal error on install

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade
1

I’m trying to install FreePBX 2.9.0 and I get this error.
After looking at the file it looks like it’s trying to verify that I’m logged
in as root and then crashes.

Running RHES 6.1
Dell Linux install - new PowerEdge R310 server
409 updates completed yesterday
kernel 2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86-64
php.x86-64 5.3.3-3.el16
Asterisk 1.8.5.0

I did a yum erase php then a yum install php earlier this morning.
That didn’t make a difference.

Type cat /etc/sysconfig/clock in a shell, the text after ZONE= you need to put into /etc/php.ini in section date.timezone.

Example for Sweden:

[root@localhost etc]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
ZONE="Europe/Stockholm"

Edit /etc/php.ini and change date.timezone:

date.timezone = Europe/Stockholm

Then do yum install php-process to solve the undefined error.

I made these changes:

Edit /etc/php.ini and change date.timezone:
date.timezone = America/Los Angeles

You need to restart apache.
As for the other error, you need to find and install the rpm that contains the function posix_getpwuid.

Google is your friend.
