Hi,

I have a weird problem woth the time zone on my virtual (goDaddy) dedicated server

I had to setup the timezone using system-config-date to GMT+7

i am in NY (GMT-5)

when i do GMT-5 i get all the times 2 hours ahead

seems like there's something im missing here

If i add an event to my web app let's say 7:30 - 8:15 , the only way for me to show it right is GMT+7

can anyone help me figure out what am i missing here???

Thanks Ami

Odd,

What does the following show? zdump /etc/localtime

And when you change it to GMT-5?

Also, why not use EST for the system time?
