Wrong timezone despite correct options

Have you restart your server? Changes will not take effect until you restart apache.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for responding – but Apache has nothing to do with this, as these are not new settings. Apache has obviously been restarted a few times since these settings were put in place a year ago – back when we set up the server and moved the site to it.

This is also not a new problem – I’m just out of ideas how to debug it.

Thanks,

Bira

Apache has everything to do with it as it is the time keeper. Other things then modify off of Apache’s settings. The php.ini file is a connector to Apache.

Do you have SSH access to the server?

Yes, I do. Here’s the php.ini part relating to date (response of php -i):

date

date/time support => enabled
"Olson" Timezone Database Version => 0.system
Timezone Database => internal
Default timezone => Asia/Jerusalem

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
date.default_latitude => 31.7667 => 31.7667
date.default_longitude => 35.2333 => 35.2333
date.sunrise_zenith => 90.583333 => 90.583333
date.sunset_zenith => 90.583333 => 90.583333
date.timezone => Asia/Jerusalem => Asia/Jerusalem

Here’s the server time:

[apache@410643-web1 ~]$ date
Tue Apr  9 18:25:18 IDT 2013

Where else would I look? I don’t know that Apache has a date directive?

Many thanks,

Bira

By the way, I should add that the first line in my theme’s functions.php is:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jerusalem');

(That’s always been there). It should be redundant, given the php.ini settings, but I added it just in case. And yet I still have TZ discrepancies…

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jerusalem');
This actually overrides the php.ini file.

You do not have any plugins like “Event Planner” or along those lines?

Yes, I know it overrides – that’s why I said it is redundant, given that the value in php.ini is the same (so there’s no need to override) ??

No, no “Event Planner”. No other plugin that would have an effect on revisions either.

Thanks ??
