Why does php-fpm does not honour date.timezone?

I cannot tell you why this happens with PHP 7.1, but with PHP 7.2.21 I cannot confirm that behavior - it works as expected. You can create a short php script and check which time zones are supported by your PHP version, like this

<?php
  print_r( DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() );
?>

I’ve created such a file and there is America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires so I don’t understand why nextcloud compains about it, in fact, I’ve run a php file with phpinfo() and I’ve found:

Any ideas?
