Server Time

[secretman]

Where is the settings for change server time?

Enter (in ssh)

/usr/sbin/timeconfig

Under /usr/sbin/ don't exist timeconfig.

Is possible request a ticket with my directadmin panel?

I have urgent need to resolve the cgi-bin problem (my other thread) and have need to change time.

In future direct admin release will include server time change and cgi working under public_html folder?

No, This isn't a problem related in any way at all with DirectAdmin, setting the time is the job of the system admin.

You can also use the following command:

date -s 'Fri Feb 23 mm:hh:ss GMT 2004'

or, you can syncronize from an ip server time:

ex:

rdate -s time.nist.gov


then save it:

hwclock --systohc

To set your timezone, set a symlink from /etc/localtime to the file in the /usr/share/zoneinfo that corresponds with the timezone you reside.

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/your/zone /etc/localtime

Should work. :)

[hoobastank68]

I did:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

Seems like now my netstatus script shows server time as

00:40:01

It's really ~7:40 PM

[hoobastank68]

k finally got it..

did tzselect
before i chose 1) Eastern time

this time chose 7) Eastern Standard Time - Indiana - Starke County

And worked fine.... thanks

[l0rdphi1]

Odd. dunno.

Good to see it works now :)

The symlink trick always works if that fails though, or you can just copy the file over to /etc/localtime (basically the same thing there)
