Not to be confused with Aggressive Sunbathing.

Long time readers will be aware that I suffer from psoriasis. While I wait for the treatment that was being talked about four years ago, I started last week a course of Light Therapy which involves me standing in a metal box and being bombarded by UVB light three times a week for eight weeks or so.

My torso got burnt by the third treatment but curiously is the area showing the most obvious early improvement. This may be because it was the least badly affected area of course.

Oh LazyWeb, can you help me?

Specifically, I'm hoping that someone who reads Planet SUSE or one of the other planets that include my blog might be able to help me out.

I host a photo gallery on my web server that's powered by Original, using PHP. The thing is that somehow, the timezone database on my server seems to have been corrupted and I can't figure out how to resolve it.

The error in the Apache logs is: PHP Fatal error: strtotime(): Timezone database is corrupt - this should *never* happen! in ...

I'd love to hear from anyone who can help me out here - I'm using the latest version of PHP5 and everything I've found in PHP's bugzilla suggests that should resolve it.

Update: This is now Novell bug #424756.
