Go to Forums ACP--> General Admin--> Configuration--> System Timezone and set it to reflect the time you want.

what about the time setting in "your account"

I went though this few days ago. changed it in forum admin and my account. (I also had to change time zone in php.ini to take me from PST to EST)

this change nothing ; server time stay like he is

Forum config since on raven 2.4 php there is nowhere you can change the timezone on preferences

where is the server located?

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:08 pm

server is in Switzerland

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2012 3:26 pm

What timezone would you like for the server to show?

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2012 4:58 pm

If the server is in Switzerland it should change automatically to (GMT +1) I believe
My server for example is in Amsterdam.So i have:

1 February 2012 23:46:38 CET (GMT +1) within the block.

You can change it in the block directly but your news and feeds will also have a wrong time.

You can also change it in your root .htaccess by adding this to the top of it:

Code:




SetEnv TZ America/New_York

and that will set the server time to the selected timezone.

What is the URL to the website, we'll have a look.

Log in as admin, click on "Forums" in the admin panel. then click on "Configuration" on the left hand list. Scroll down to where you enter the time, zone, etc. and set it for your correct offset.

Forum config since on raven 2.4 php there is nowhere you can change the timezone on preferences

If you have shell access on your server, login and at the prompt, type "date" no quotes, what is the result?

What I see:

Server Date/Time
3 March 2012 17:32:20 EST (GMT -5)

If you login to your server, is the time different?

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:33 pm

when I access server in shell , I've this : 03 Mar 12 23:32*
but on my website I've currently this :
Server Date/Time
3 March 2012 17:28:56 EST (GMT -5)

Url to website : [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Is the server time actually correct? If so then there is a problem with your configuration on the web site. What is our OS, Windows, Linux or what?

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:41 pm

the time on server is correct , it's a linux server CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
i've just move website from a server to another in the same datacenter

Funny is that forum is giving this :
The time now is Sun Mar 04, 2012 12:46 am

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:54 pm

When you set the time to GMT +1 and save it, when you return does it change back to GMT -5 on the configuration page ?

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:56 pm

no it's stay in gmt +1 so forum time is ok but not on mainpage on phpnuke
that's really strange

mainpage currently this :
Server Date/Time
3 March 2012 17:56:36 EST (GMT -5)

forum :
The time now is Sun Mar 04, 2012 12:59 am

in ssh on server :
t-moon.net [~]# date
Sat Mar 3 23:58:34 CET 2012

Does your database under bbconfig also show +1 for the board_timezone.

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:07 pm

yes +1 no problem on bbconfig

Hmmm, by chance are you NOT using the standard issue block "User Info", a mod maybe?

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:27 pm

using the block-User_Info with raven v2.4 didn't do any change on it

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:33 pm

ssh into your server and at the prompt:

php -r "echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');"

What do you get, is it the same if you type "date" ?
