Yes it is, it matches the same date / time / timezone for the Nagiosxi PHP.INI. Its Eastern Standard - US/Canada, the time is exactly the same on all 3 sessions (CentOS VM, Windows 7 Professional workstation hosting the VM and NagiosXI PHP.INI).

I'm wondering is this issue really related to the date.timezone settings and this is the only thing that needs to be adjusted to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

What browser are you using? If IE, do you have compatibility mode enabled?

Thank you, on the hosting workstation I use IE and I just tested with compatibility mode after your reply and still not working. Also, from a remote workstation I'm able to reach the NagiosXI web interface using Chrome, FFX and Safari and still getting the same issue.

Thanks,

What do you get when for "date" on the vm cli? (specifically the timezone at the end?)
I ask because earlier in the thread, you had "Fri Feb 22 14:12:17 UTC 2013" which is reporting UTC, not your timezone.

Thank you for the response, the date command on the NagiosXI CentOS console shows:

[root@localhost ~]# date
Fri Feb 22 16:38:20 UTC 2013

The time zone on the hosting workstation (Windows 7 Pro) shows:
(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

The php.ini file shows the following for the date.timezone field:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.c ... e.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York

It seems they are both on UTC time. Am I wrong on having the NagiosXI setup this way? if so, can you please tell me what should I include as the timezone configuration? Hopefully that is the problem.

Thanks,

Paul C.

Hi, good morning,

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you very much for all the time and effort from everyone. My issue is now fixed. i followed the instructions provided and now able to update the date.timezone using NTP setup. I don't see a difference between the date.timezone entries I had prior, but implementing the NTP update seems to have fixed the problem. I'm now able to login to the NagiosXI Web interface and I can now start setting up my monitoring devices and services.

Thank you very much eveyrone!!

Awesome! It could have just been a fluke in the version you were using.. but thanks for mentioning that the update fixed it.
