Dashboard error - just migrated site
Permalink
I moved the site to another server and I was able to access the dashboard a few times but now when I try to log into the Dashboard I get this error
Site Activity
An unexpected error occurred.
DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (Default)

anyone have any ideas?
Maybe you should make sure that all the files were updated.
all files were updated. I was able to log into the dashboard and use for a couple logins but all of a sudden it stopped working.
so a workaround for this is to go back to your test site and turn off user timezones or just turn off user times before backing up the database. then re-import the new database and it now works. Not sure the real resolution but at least the site is functional again.
I had the same issue after moving servers, rather than reimport the entire database, I looked at the users table and noticed that my admin users had a value of "default" instead of null for datetime column. I simply reset those to null and logged out and back in again and back in action. Not sure why they would have got default as a value initially or why a server transfer would trigger the problem, strange behavior for sure. I did go from php 5.2 to 5.3 on the new server if that's any help to someone.
