You are basically getting the date of value "0". Double check that the timezone is a valid one. Double check that the field you are viewing has a value. Try entering it again.

Maybe not related with this case in particular. But yes, he does

[ryan]

Hehe, no magic here. Maybe you have a magic computer?

@ryan: just mentioned this in another thread. Maybe, you can include the date/timezone settings in the install process?

[ryan]

Yes, I think I replied in that other thread that I'll add that. Most likely in 2.4

I'm having a similar issue with the Info field on the admin. It shows the server time, not the time I've defined in site/config.php:

$config->timezone = 'Europe/Lisbon';

The info field (in the page editor settings tab) is currently specific to server time and not affected by timezone settings.
