Description
My first impression with Flow/Neos a very unstylish "echo" error message with a die():
Flow requires the PHP setting "date.timezone" to be set. (Error #1342087777)This was introduced in #37438. The default "date.timezone" is empty in most distributions, so I guess there will be others facing the same first impression.
My suggestion would be to make this error message more "stylish" and give some more help about how to / where change it (you use to give paths for Debian-like people). It should look more like the exceptions found later on.
On a more broader question: Why is this date.timezone required by the "Bootstrap" already? I suppose Flow has many other "PHP dependencies" (required settings, required loaded modules, required permissions etc), which should all be checked in this first installation step anyway. There is a step in /setup which tells me "Your environment seems suited for bla bla" and then redirects to a further step. Wouldn't this be a better place to check for this dependency?
