ERROR 500 when I setup PHP 8.00 with my OJS 3.3.0-15

I was working with my OJS 3.3.0-15 in PHP 7,4. It worked very slow so I tried to setup muy PHP server from 7,4 to 8.00 release. The OJS stop working with Error 500. The error log said this problem:

[01-Nov-2023 16:05:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: DateTime::__construct(): Invalid date.timezone value ‘UTC-3’, we selected the timezone ‘UTC’ for now. in /home9/iaa/public_html/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/i18n/PKPLocale.inc.php:306

While I´m looking for this error, I setup my PHP release in 7,4 again and it works fine (but slow)

Dear @Webrodleir,

It seems there’s something wrong with your timezone in php.ini, please double-check that it matches the timezone set in config.inc.php (these are the ones available: https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php).

Best regards,
Josh

That´s right, Jnoronha! I change the timezone in the config.inc.php with my country. But I still have the same problem… And it´s very slow when in articles and Archive of issues…

Hi @Webrodleir,

Sorry for the delay, somehow I missed your reply. Try disabling “custom locale” plugin, if active, and remove any other locale than English under “administration > site settings”, you can enable them again after.

Best regards,
Josh

I will try to do that recomendation… Thanks!
