In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/www/vhosts/wilkeseastna.org/wilkeseastna.org/drupal/modules/event/event.module on line 1433.
