<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a problem configuring the timezone on a CentOS 5.5 server.</DIV>
<DIV>I would like the timezone to be Europe/Paris. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have followed the steps described here: </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think I have changed the appropriate configuration files (
/etc/localtime, /etc/sysconfig/clock ), but the output of the ‘date’ command
still indicates the timezone is EST.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release</DIV>
<DIV>CentOS release 5.5 (Final)</DIV>
<DIV>[root@s15370074 ~]# ls -l /etc/localtime</DIV>
<DIV>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Feb 19 18:31 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris</DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock</DIV>
<DIV>ZONE="Europe/Paris"</DIV>
<DIV>UTC=true</DIV>
<DIV>ARC=false</DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# echo $TZ</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]#</DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# date</DIV>
<DIV>Sun Feb 20 18:01:28 EST 2011</DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# rdate -s time.mit.edu</DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# hwclock –systohc</DIV>
<DIV>[root@xxx ~]# date</DIV>
<DIV>Sun Feb 20 18:03:34 EST 2011</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Note that I have even completely rebooted the server, with no effect.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Am I missing something important ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you in advance for your suggestions !</DIV>
