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?
Justin.
More oddity. Out of perfect clarity, total confusion:
# date ; for i in EST CST MST PST ; do zdump $i ; done; date Mon Dec 29 11:55:09 CST 2008 EST Mon Dec 29 12:55:09 2008 EST CST Mon Dec 29 17:55:09 2008 CST MST Mon Dec 29 10:55:09 2008 MST PST Mon Dec 29 17:55:09 2008 PST Mon Dec 29 11:55:09 CST 2008
