Problems setting time and time zone in RH Linux
Hello,
I am on redhat linux advanced server 4. I am in Time-zone "Asia/Calcutta", and that is what I am trying to set my timezone to. I have tried everything that google-search provided, but nothing is working for some reason. Right now, the 'date' shows: Tue Dec 2 16:30:02 UTC 2008 ie. timezone=UTC. Whereas I expected it to be IST (Indian Standard Time). So, I tried tzselect -> Asia ->India and I agreed to: Local time is now: Tue Dec 2 16:31:05 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta 2008. Universal Time is now: Tue Dec 2 16:31:05 UTC 2008. I do not know why "Universal Time" is showing as the localtime. The 'date' command again gave: Tue Dec 2 16:31:43 UTC 2008 Second, I ran dateconfig command, and set it to Asia/Calcutta and UTC off, but still the same result. My /etc/sysconfig/clock file: [root@ps2844 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="Asia/Calcutta" UTC=false ARC=false I also setup a sym-link from /usr/share/zoneinfo, and yet no result. [root@ps2844 ~]# ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Dec 2 10:16 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta [root@ps2844 ~]# date Tue Dec 2 16:39:50 UTC 2008 Let me know what else can I try to move this to the correct timezone. |
Stupid question but did you reboot after changing the time zone info? I think that is a requirement. Not positive though I just remember needing to reboot when I altered my timezone settings.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:56 PM. |
