I'm trying to start my application in phoenix on localhost, but I'm getting an error from tzdata that prevents the application from starting. I don't have any experience with phoenix, so any help is welcome. Here's the error I get when I try the command mix phoenix.server

Generated contai_server app

    The `:enoent` error you are getting is because the file that the tzdata package is trying to read is not there. `enoent` in general is "file or directory not found". Try doing a clean and build again. – Justin Wood Nov 07 '18 at 19:37

I have the same issue with some versions of tzdata. I've narrowed it down to tzdata not working well with directories and subdirectories that contains spaces.

I can't offer a permanent fix but I can offer a workaround: Move your project to a path without any spaces.
