Different Time Displayed In GUI

[Ben.Patrick]

Me again...

Probably something really simple, but a little quirky.

I have updated the timezone in the shell so that it uses the GMT timezone. When I use the 'date' command, the correct time is shown.

[root@localhost /]# date
Wed Mar 16 16:25:50 GMT 2011

In the Admin secion, underneath the Administrative Tasks Box it shows this message

Last Updated: 2011-03-16 16:23:22

However, when I look in the Service Details to do Schedule an Immediate Check it displays the time in what I assume is Central Time

Last Check: 2011-03-16 11:20:59
Next Check: 2011-03-16 11:25:59

How do I get it so that the correct time is shown for all the scheduled checks?

Thanks

Ben

Most likely you just need to restart Apache:

Code: Select all

 service httpd restart

It could also be that you need to set the PHP timezone separately from the system timezone.

I am having the same trouble. I am using XI 2011.R9.
the GUI and system time are same but service Last Check time is showing in different time zone.


[root@PCPMNAG02 ~]# date
Thu Jan 26 17:11:42 PST 2012

PHP GUI
Last Updated: 2012-01-26 17:13:08

Service Detail
Last Check: 2012-01-27 01:15:54

it is clear that the time shown in service check is showing in GMT. how can make to show time in PST?

Thanks for your help in advance.

See what is your time zone setting in your pnp.ini file:

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/php.ini | grep date.timezone

Put your proper time zone in the php.ini file, for example:

Code: Select all

date.timezone = America/Chicago

Then run:

Code: Select all

# service httpd restart

Thanks for your response. Here is the timezone I used for PDT from official page and have done several httpd restart (even whole server restart)

[root@pnagios02lxv libexec]# cat /etc/php.ini | grep date.timezone
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.c ... e.timezone
;date.timezone = Europe/London
date.timezone = America/Los_Angeles

After changing the setting here, I was able to see the difference in update part of GUI but not 'LastCheck'. I am not sure where else do I need to make change.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Some customers reported success by copying the sample timezone to /etc/localtime. There are some samples in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. Try:

Code: Select all

# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
# service httpd restart

Try again restarting the server.

Great. Thank you. This did the job.
Really appreciate your quick help on this.
