Are you sure of your change?  The message seems to indicate you have
America.Detroit, not America/Detroit.  The former would be incorrect.

Also, phpinfo() will give you information on which php.ini you are using.

I like using:

php --ini

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed:      /etc/php/conf.d/apcu.ini

Nice.  However, note that this will only give you the files for the CLI, 
while

  phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL);

is runtime-independent.

It should also be noted that none of the above provides information about 
PHP configuration directives set via Windows registry, server configuration, 
or user scripts.  The last one might be the case here as “date.timezone”
is PHP_INI_ALL-Changeable; if all else fails, RE-searching the source code 
case-insensitively for

  \bini_set\s*\(\s*["']date.timezone["']\s*,\s*["']America\.Detroit["']

and the like (the parameters of the call could be string constants) could 
prove useful.

Which is fine if you're using the CLI version of PHP.  But if you're
running as an Apache module, you can easily get the wrong answer.

phpinfo() gives the current information no matter which version you're
using.

Yes, it would need to be "America/Detroit", see:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

Second, you could add:

  php_value date.timezone "America/Detroit"

to your apache config file.

Third, if you're doing something where you want your PHP setup to
reflect the time-zone actually set on your machine (e.g. you're making
an app for use by others or even if it's your laptop that you take
elsewhere), you can do this in PHP:

  $timezone = 'America/Detroit';          // Default for time zone

  $fp = fopen ('/etc/timezone', 'r');
  if  ($fp!==false)
       {
       $timezone = trim (fgets ($fp));    // Read what it actually is
       }
  fclose ($fp);

  date_default_timezone_set ($timezone);

This will work for Ubuntu.
