Upstream references to http://docs.cacti.net/faq#time_zone_warning where
it says:

Time Zone Warning

Similar to the Deprecated Warning, you may see the following warning in
your logs

"""
PHP Warning:  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 'CET/1.0/no
DST' instead in
/usr/share/cacti/include/global_constants.php on line 156
"""

In this case, simply follow the directions. Set your timezone in
/etc/php.ini

"""
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone
date.timezone =America/Regina
"""

Of course, read
http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone ,
and find your correct timezone.

As always, restart apache after any change to /etc/php.ini
