System time and php time are not matching

[INFINITT]

Hi,

I know this topic is allready discussed but I can't install NTP on my Nagios Server so I need an another way for fixing this issue.

As you can see in the attached image my systemtime and my timezone are correct. But you also can see the differnce between the systemtime and the PHP time.
Europe/Berlin is +1 (GMT).

Due this issue I am getting eMails and reports from the future.

Where can I set the GMT?
Where or how can I set the PHP time?
Or is there a way to syncronize both times?

Thanks a lot for your help and support in advance

We can certainly help can you please run the following?:

Code: Select all

date

Code: Select all

grep date.timezone /etc/php.ini

And send us the output?

The best way to sync is with ntp, however you can change the timezones in several other places.

This is a good, short guide to changing your system time:

Hi,

at first THX for your help.

After chaniging my system time like this:

[root@localhost ~]# date
Mon Sep 2 08:52:41 EDT 2013
[root@localhost ~]# cp /etc/localtime /etc/lokaltime.bak
[root@localhost ~]# rm -f /etc/localtime
[root@localhost ~]# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/europe/berlin /etc/localtime
[root@localhost ~]# date
Mon Sep 2 12:54:21 UTC 2013

my output for
date is:

[root@localhost ~]# date
Mon Sep 2 12:54:21 UTC 2013

and the putput for
grep date.timezone /etc/php.ini is:

[root@localhost ~]# grep date.timezone /etc/php.ini
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.c ... e.timezone
; date.timezone = America/New_York
date.timezone = Europe/Berlin

I've already tried to change my PHP Time but nevertheless the difference between the PHP-Time and the system time are 2h.

Thx in advance for your support

Did you change the clock settings as well?

Hi,

yes. I already changed the Zone to ZONE="Europe/Berlin" but still the same issue. (Time difference +2 h)

This is odd. Are you sure those files are different?

Code: Select all

diff /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC
ls -la /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
ls -la /etc/localtime
