Comment 2 for bug 970538

I did few tests to see the problem,

Try to see the file /openerp-6.1-1/openerp/tools/config.py at line 438, I think the problem comes from there:

  # TODO checking the type of the parameters should be done for every
        # parameters, not just the timezone.
        # The call to get_server_timezone() sets the timezone; this should
        # probably done here.
        if self.options['timezone']:
            # Prevent the timezone to be True. (The config file parsing changes
            # the string 'True' to the boolean value True. It would be probably
            # be better to remove that conversion.)
            die(not isinstance(self.options['timezone'], basestring),
                "Invalid timezone value in configuration or environment: %r.\n"
                "Please fix this in your configuration." %(self.options['timezone']))

            # If an explicit TZ was provided in the config, make sure it is known

I try to view the self.options['timezone'], but all time it is FALSE.Normally the value should be the result of method get_server_timezone().

I think it is a bug from openErp

if you have an idea, can you tell me.
