Hi Medvedd

Didn't work unfortunatly. Here is what I got.


[root@s15345671 ~]# cd /etc
[root etc]# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London localtime
[root]# date
Fri Mar 26 00:40:45 EDT 2010

Open in new window

medvedd

OK, try to use command

system-config-date

Here's the result.

[root@s15345671 /]# system-config-date
-bash: system-config-date: command not found

medvedd

Hmm. It should be in

/usr/bin/system-config-date

Afraid not. I only have a minimal installation. ie First disk.

[root@s15345671 /]# /usr/bin/system-config-date
-bash: /usr/bin/system-config-date: No such file or directory

Hi Berniep

Thanks for the info. Unfortunatly I need to change the time zone as well. At the moment I'm stuck with EDT.

If I changed the timezone the time would be correct.

Do you know how to do that?

Kind Regards,

Adrian

PS: I had to reboot the server for PHP to pick up the new time settings.
