Hi! I need to use Ubuntu 14.04 in my build, but I need to define the `date.timezone` PHP config, actually my code is:

```auto
dependencies:
    override:
        - echo "date.timezone = UTC" > ~/.phpenv/versions/$(phpenv global)/etc/conf.d/date.ini

```

But seems that the `~/.phpenv` folder does not exist, this works fine in Ubuntu 12.04.  
There is a new way to archieve this in 14.04?

For ubuntu 14.04 you should change your directories like this:

```auto
dependencies:
    override:
        - echo "date.timezone = UTC" > /opt/circleci/php/$(phpenv global)/etc/conf.d/date.ini

```

Cheers!
