Answer: You need to enable the timezone support in your MySQL database. The following are the steps to fix this:

$ mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo/|mysql -u root mysql -p
Enter password: 
Warning: Unable to load '/usr/share/zoneinfo//iso3166.tab' as time zone. Skipping it.
Warning: Unable to load '/usr/share/zoneinfo//zone.tab' as time zone. Skipping it.
[ec2-user@ip-172-30-0-198 ~]$ mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Enter password:
