[solved] server location in different locale: offset time display

[kurashiki_ben]

Hi all,

My server is located in the EST time zone, and is 14 hours behind my locale (Japan).
I want the time on the site (News, CGComments etc.) to display in the local time here.

I have added the following to .htaccess (in cms root and in admin):

Code: Select all

SetEnv TZ Asia/Tokyo

However, this has had no effect. Times still display in EST both on the front end and the adin area.

Any tips?

Best regards

Ben

On my host it didn't work the .htaccess file, but I was able to overcome this by adding the following line to config.php (I put it under the locale setting line)

putenv('TZ=US/Eastern');

Works just fine in the news date/time etc. Change according to your own timezone.

Code: Select all

putenv('TZ=Asia/Japan');

in config.php did the trick
