Timezone and more problems with Cakephp 1.3 and PHP 5.3.2

on server i have php 5.3.2, and cakephp 1.3.

when i run cakephp application, it gives me following errors:

Warning (2): strtotime() [http://php.net/function.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. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CEST/2.0/DST' instead [ROOT/cakephp/cake/libs/cache.php, line 570]

Also, I'm getting some more errros:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /htdocs/cakephp/cake/libs/cache/file.php on line 248 Fatal error: Call to a member function cd() on a non-object in /htdocs/cakephp/cake/libs/cache/file.php on line 248

Timezone in php.ini is defined as Europe/London

I'm always getting that error, despite I define or not date_default_timezone_set('UTC'), or Europe/London, or whatever...

really frustrating......... please help...

UPDATE: something is wrong with my installation of php... if i run 

<?php echo date('Y'); ?>

... it gives me blank screen. no result...

is there maybe a problem?

I had this error for a while since the hosting co. upgraded to 5.3 too

In the /app/config/config.php, around line 244, there's a note about un-commenting the next line when running on 5.3

I just changed the next line to:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto'); // your favourite time-zone here - and don't get me started about why Toronto is U.S. city (joking)

You could put that line in bootstrap.php, but you might get this error still, config.php is loaded first
