When the release candidate version of OctoberCMS was announced, I went into the CMS and went through the core/plugin update process, which was interrupted by a Server 500 error somewhere along the line. I can't identify whether it was a core or a plugin issue, but it caused my installation to enter an unrecoverable state where every page (public-facing and CMS) produce a Server 500 error. I enabled SSH on Bluehost and tried to run the updates through the console, but:

php artisan october:update

...also yields a Server 500 error. I am able to run composer updates in the /modules directories individually, but that did not solve the problem. After digging into error_log, I found these errors (some parts are x-ed out for privacy reasons):

[02-Apr-2015 09:33:56 America/Denver] PHP Notice:  date_default_timezone_set(): Timezone ID '' is invalid in /home2/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxx/vendor/october/rain/src/Foundation/Bootstrap/LoadConfiguration.php on line 22

I tried adding these entries to app/config/app.php but for some reason it did not cause the errors to go away:

'log' => 'single',
'timezone' => 'America/Los Angeles',

Any ideas on how I can diagnose the issue?

Hi, I get the same problem, still haven't find a solution?

[EDIT]

What I finally did: make a fresh install of OctoberCMS in another directory, then replace the vendor of the old app with the new one. It worked again after that.
