Did you install the php-intl extension?

You can check your Moodle environment (Site administration > Server > Environment) and see if there are no extensions missing.

Hi, 

This php-intl extension is already enabled.

Is the php-intl extension enabled for both webserver and CLI versions of PHP?

You can have different configurations for when PHP is called in the two different ways (even different versions of PHP itself).

Hi,

Did you check what time zone is configured in Moodle (config.php) ?

ie:
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Hobart');

Maybe they've a mispelling. But I'm not sure it can cause that error.

Have a nice day.

Dominique.

Hi,
I have the same error.
In my config.php there is no timezone specification.
Trying to insert it the result doesn't change.

This could be due to Calendar module, try to disable Calendar block from admin and see if it works

/admin/blocks.php

Hi

I know this is a bit old, but posting anyway. I may help the next person coming to this thread.

I had the same issue with Moodle 4.3.3

Error:
Execute scheduled task: Cleanup old sessions (core\task\session_cleanup_task)
!!! Exception - Class "IntlTimeZone" not found !!!



I first checked the below:
All extensions were present in the server/environment tab
I made sure extension=intl was enabled in php.ini
I added the timezone value in config.php

None of the above worked. I then ran the following command and it fixed the issue for me.

sudo apt-get install -y php-intl

Thanks a lot.

I run sudo apt-get install -y php-intl and it works fine.

It was the source of many other erros, all works fine now.
