[Solved] Server Time (Day Light Savings)

Post by Zoxive »

Is it just me or has the server's time not been updated from the time change last Sunday?

Solved:
  • User Control Panel
  • Board preferences
  • Edit global settings
  • Summer Time/DST is in effect: Yes

I think the new server is in PST (UTC - 8 hours with DST), so it looks correct (unless my local clock is wrong! ;))

With phpbb you can set your time zone so it corrects it, and it does but its still an hour off. I'm eastern.

It is 3:42 pm, and the board says 2:42 pm.

I can simply change it to -6 instead of -5, but i figured everyone else had the same problem.

I have logged out/in and delete cookies. (not sure quite how phpbb stores the time diff information.)

Do you have the "Summer Time/DST is in effect:" setting right below that set to Yes ?

You found it, I never touched it so I guess it defaults to no.
Setting to yes solved it.

Sorry for being such a phpbb noob. :banghead:
