-in your PHP configuration (`php.ini file`). By default this setting may look like this:

### PHP timzeone warnings
You should set the default time zone as instructed in the warning in
your `php.ini` file. Find the entry about timezone and set it to
something like this:
-
+
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
- ; http://php.net/date.timezone
+ ; https://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = 'America/Denver'
Or
and recompile (`cmake .. && make`).
+## I see the error "ERROR: permission denied for language c"
+
+`nominatim.so`, written in C, is required to be installed on the database
+server. Some managed database (cloud) services like Amazon RDS do not allow
+this. There is currently no work-around other than installing a database
+on a non-managed machine.
+
+
### I see the error: "function transliteration(text) does not exist"
Reinstall the nominatim functions with `setup.php --create--functions`
and check for any errors, e.g. a missing `nominatim.so` file.
+### I see the error: "ERROR: mmap (remap) failed"
+
+This may be a simple out-of-memory error. Try reducing the memory used
+for `--osm2pgsql-cache`. Also make sure that overcommitting memory is
+allowed: `cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory` should print 0 or 1.
+
+If you are using a flatnode file, then it may also be that the underlying
+filesystem does not fully support 'mmap'. A notable candidate is virtualbox's
+vboxfs.
+
+### nominatim UPDATE failed: ERROR: buffer 179261 is not owned by resource owner Portal
+
+Several users [reported this](https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/1168) during the initial import of the database. It's
+something PostgreSQL internal Nominatim doesn't control. And PostgreSQL forums
+suggest it's threading related but definitely some kind of crash of a process.
+Users reported either rebooting the server, different hardware or just trying
+the import again worked.
### The website shows: "Could not get word tokens"
`could not connect to server: No such file or directory`
-On CentOS v7 the PostgreSQL server is started with `systemd`.
-Check if `/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service` contains a line `PrivateTmp=true`.
-If so then Apache cannot see the `/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432` file. It's a good security feature,
-so use the [preferred solution](../appendix/Install-on-Centos-7/#adding-selinux-security-settings).

### Website reports "DB Error: insufficient permissions"
-The user the webserver, e.g. Apache, runs under needs to have access to the Nominatim database. You can find the user like [this](https://serverfault.com/questions/125865/finding-out-what-user-apache-is-running-as), for default Ubuntu operating system for example it's `www-data`.

-The message is a bit misleading as PHP needs to load the file `DB.php` and
