 * I’m getting these errors when i go to my site.
 * PHP Warning: strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings.
   You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set()
   function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this
   warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

 * Where are you seeing those errors? In a post on your blog? In some sort of hosting
   control panel? Sounds like a problem with the PHP configuration at your hosting
   service. Post your URL.

 * Why the IP with the port number? It redirects to the hosts’ index. Talk to your
   host; they have something screwed up. They’re reselling hosting from rackspace.

 * I work a for a web firm and this is our server. we are using port 80 for another
   testing site, so we put this one on 84.
 * Is it because i’m using a port that i’m running into issues?

 * I don’t know, but I don’t see any of the time errors. Try [disabling your strict error reporting.](http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/739376.html)
   And your port 84 URL times out and redirects to the base IP.

 * Hmm, it’s working for me. i wonder if it’s due to a firewall restriction.
 * I read over that article and it’s saying that i have to change the date settings
   in wordpress source code.

   of other people here with that same problem. [Read this.](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285337?replies=18)

 * Disable all your plugins and try it again. If you find a plugin that causes the
   error, go to that plugin site.

 * Read the error: unable to create file. Your directory permissions are off. And
   go to Google to find docs on installing and using their sitemap generator; it
   doesn’t go in wp-content, it goes in root.
