I have an newish Ubuntu 16.04 server that I am installing a Symfony based application on. It says date.timezone needs to be set. Fair enough, I've done that before. Php is configured as FPM, so it SHOULD be a local php.ini above doc root, right? Setting date.timezone there does no good.
phpinfo() says the ini files read are:

I've tried setting date.timezone in /etc/php/5.6/fpm/php.ini but it also has no effect.
What's going on here?
/etc/php/5.6/fpm/php.inishould be the right file. Did you restart your webserver after making/saving that change? For apache on ubuntu itssudo service apach2 restart. If you are using a different OS/webserver, just google for the restart command.
