Any idea what would cause this on the web interface (seems to work fine from command line):

Software error:
Cannot determine local time zone

I updated the DateTime module through CPAN but still seeing the same error. This is on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS with latest updates applied.

Jeremy,

This is odd, I have not seen it before. Looking online several people with Debian and Ubuntu have had this issue, see this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.support.bugzilla/gRjY5IEXrNU

Hopefully that will get you started. Try running tzupdate on the CLI, seems like there is quite a bit of info out there.

Good luck,
Jonathan

I ended up doing the following:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

I changed the timezone from America/New_York to US/Eastern (same -5 GMT) and it started working again.

Great, that was an odd one.
