Unknown or bad timezone

Calendar
1

Hello,

when I sync my EmClient Calendar with my Owncloud.
I got following Error in the Owncloud Log:

    DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone (W. Europe Standard Time) at /share/HDA_DATA/Web/owncloud/3rdparty/Sabre/VObject/TimeZoneUtil.php#307

Log from the EmClient:

So I can see the Timezone looks:
“W. Europe Standard Time”

The File
/share/HDA_DATA/Web/owncloud/3rdparty/Sabre/VObject/TimeZoneUtil.php
contains following Line:
‘W. Europe Standard Time’=>‘Europe/Berlin’,

I use owncloud 6.0.3 on Qnap TS-112
PHP Version 5.3.26
EM Client 6.0

Anybody an Idea how I can fix this Error?

Hi Harald, what version of eM client exactly are you using? You can find this in Help > About.
Are you seeing any error messages from the application while synchronizing items?

Thank you,
Paul.

I use eM Client 6.0.20320.0.
I see no error message from the application. Only the Errors in the owncloud log.
If I sync Thunderbird Lightning or my android mobilephone with CalDAV Sync I see no errors in the owncloud log.

Hi again Harald,
we might be able to create a workaround for this issue, if you could download this tool (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) and open it.

When you do please go to Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS and check the “Decrypt HTTPS traffic” option.
Then go back to eM Client and try to replicate the issue, so the error is again visible in your logs.

Then please go back to Fiddler and go to File > Save > All Sessions and save the fiddler session into .saz archive. Please send me the saved session to [email protected]

Thank you,
Paul.

Hello Paul,

currently I use emClient 6.0.20617.0 and Owncloud 6.0.4 the log entry is still there:

Error PHP DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone (W. Europe Standard Time) at /share/HDA_DATA/Web/owncloud/3rdparty/Sabre/VObject/TimeZoneUtil.php#307 2014-07-23T07:38:52+00:00

There are news from the developers?

Hi Harald, this is an issue with Owncloud unfortunately, but we are working on a workaround for the issue.

Thank you for reporting this,
Paul.
