Guest Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 is there anyway just to set an offset value to adjust the time to NZ time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you modify that file, restart mysql and date and timestamp fields will refect this change or you can run a query "select now();" to see its change. To restart mysql database: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart Regards, Bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 You need to modify that mysql boot up file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld Most probably iijan has a shared server, meaning that s/he won't be able to modify anything outside of the assigned webroot. I know that is the case with one of the hosting accounts that I possess where the server is hosted in america. Therefore, modifying *any* configuration files is not going to happen. A change of this nature (changing MySQL's timezone) would affect all of the users of the server, and I would presume that most of them wouldn't be in NZ. in all reality, the timezone is probably set to UTC/GMT. This makes calculations a little easier. Maybe a modification to one of the tep_date_* functions would make this possible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevans Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 On my server it seems that setting the timezone in my .cshrc file works. setenv TZ EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
