Hey Guys,
I did a search and didn't see this problem, but you have a little bug in the CMS that causes it to crash. Espically for people living in Indiana trying to set the Regional Settings for the software.
Bug:
If you go into "Regional Settings" and choose any of the US/Indiana timezones, it will give a communications error. If you save any of the Indiana options, you will just get an error saying, "Error setting timezone to 'US/East', Invalid timezone name." You will be locked out of the admin area until you do the follow fix.
Fix:
Open the "settings.dat.php" file under the "data" directory. Find the line "timezone = "US/East" " (line 18).
Replace this with something else from the PHP timezone list here - http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php. Save the file and you should be able to access the admin section again.
That's how I fixed it. Just FYI.

Hi MovieRelics,
Welcome to the CMS Builder forum! And thanks for the bug report. :)
Do you know what version of PHP you are running (you can find this in Admin > General (at the bottom).
On some servers it seems the PHP function that lists valid PHP timezones (timezone_abbreviations_list) isn't defined even though it should be. In that case we give a predefined list of timezones, and it seems some of those predefined timezones aren't valid on your server.
I've updated the code for the next version so that:
- Timezone errors display at the top and don't lock you out.
- Timezones that aren't valid on the server are filtered out
Thanks again for the report and hope that helps. Those fixes will be in v1.24.

Thanks for the server details.
It should be fixed for 1.24. If you need a patched version before that is released just let me know.
Thanks!

Re: [Dave] CMS Bug
Oh, I'm alright. I already know the fix and it's just a matter of "Remember to don't do that option". I can wait for the update.
