Bromine first install. Fatal error

I love those tricky moments, when you have to dance with a Show romanizationtambourine around your pc, to make it work using our galaxy logic etc.

So, the problem: I got following error when first started, freshly unzipped bromine project:


Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /usr/home/.../www/cake/libs/cache/file.php on line 244

Fatal error: Call to a member function cd() on a non-object in /usr/home/.../www/cake/libs/cache/file.php on line 244

It's under FreeBSD (that should be important moment I guess).

You wanna know how this SHOULD be fixed?
Here is what I've found:

Go to www/app/config/core.php's line stating:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
and uncomment it.

Cake engine does not like when this line is commented out and acts unpredictably
