Well, in my phpBB install, all of the times are off because I'm not sure what my server's timezone is in relation to GMT.

What can I run from SSH to view the timezone/current time or adjust it?

Thanks,
Kevin

run "date" from the commandline and see. If it is off (by minutes, not hours) do "man date" and change the date; then update the symbolic link of /etc/localtime to change the timezone.

NOTE: This is how it is on all of our gentoo servers, I am not 100% sure how most of the other linux distributions do this.

Well, what if it is off by hours?

After running date, I got this:

Wed Aug 2 06:16:06 CDT 2006

So, the date and year is right, but if the timezone is CDT (GMT-5) then the correct time should be something along the lines of 13:30:06

OK, I tried running this

date --set=Wed Aug 2 13:31:00 CDT 2006

and it said that it was reformatting date and then it said extra operand `2'

Obviously I'm not trying to set it correctly.......
Kevin

nvm..figured it out....It just wanted the time, not the whole date....

We're good now :)

Thanks again.
