PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message DateTime

Hi,

I am trying to configure this application in Centos 7 with Mysql 5.7 and Php 5.4.
When I am calling index.php, it is showing the following error:

[Fri Aug 25 12:26:01.711832 2017] [:error] [pid 9803] [client ::1:33432] PHP Notice:  date_default_timezone_set(): Timezone ID 'PDT' is invalid in /var/www/html/anemometer/lib/Anemometer.php on line 47

Please advice.

Thanks.

Hi @irumman,

This is a documented problem with Anemometer and running on 5.7 as a backend host. There is a workaround in #175 that will allow you to finish the install. If you would like, we would gladly merge a change that creates and modifies a mysql57-install.sql file.

Thank you for this report.
