Hello,

 

I have a problem configuring the timezone on a CentOS 5.5 server.

I would like the timezone to be Europe/Paris.

 

I have followed the steps described here:

 

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.

 

 

[root@xxx ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release

CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

[root@s15370074 ~]# ls -l /etc/localtime

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Feb 19 18:31 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris

[root@xxx ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock

ZONE="Europe/Paris"

UTC=true

ARC=false

[root@xxx ~]# echo $TZ

 

[root@xxx ~]#

[root@xxx ~]# date

Sun Feb 20 18:01:28 EST 2011

[root@xxx ~]# rdate -s time.mit.edu

[root@xxx ~]# hwclock –systohc

[root@xxx ~]# date

Sun Feb 20 18:03:34 EST 2011

 

 

Note that I have even completely rebooted the server, with no effect.

 

Am I missing something important ?

 

Thank you in advance for your suggestions !
