[gentoo-user] system time 6-hr. ahead

[gentoo-user] system time 6-hr. ahead

[Joseph]

My computer time reported by asterisk server or php database is 6hr ahead.
Why?

My desktop clock is correct, and command line "date" reporting local time as well.
My /etc/conf.d/hwclock
clock="local"
clock_hctosys="YES"
clock_systohc="YES"

Should I set clock="UTC"? 
I'm running Windows via VirtualBox and I know windows is using "local" time.

I forgot to mention:
/etc/timezone
Canada/Mountain

For PHP you need to set the date.timezone variable in the php.ini file -
that should fix things. For asterisk I have no clue.

When I set in: /etc/conf.d/hwclock
clock="UTC" 
my server php and asterisk reporting correct clock setting by on my desktop is reporting 6hr behind.
so is "date" 6hr behind.

I've tried to set localtime in .bashrc
TZ="Canada/Mountain"

log OUT / log IN but it didn't make any difference. The desktop XFCE clock is 6hr behind.

Try setting Windows to use UTC time instead:

It's what I use here for years and never had a problem with it.

You can make Windows use UTC by editing registry:
http://superuser.com/questions/185773/does-windows-7-support-utc-as-bios-time

However, do note that Windows would NOT update the hardware clock if
this is done. So make sure Linux would properly set the HW clock at
shutdown or your clock may drift over time.

I set: clock="UTC"
Everything would work OK if I was able to set via user home directory ".bash_profile"
TZ="Canada/Mountain"

but this is not helping, my desktop time is still behind 6hr. (server programs are showing correct time though).
Do I need to run an additional command after updating user  ".bash_profile"?
I just log OUT/IN but it is not reflecting my time zone.

The link I posted was about setting Windows to UTC time, not Linux.

Yes, you are correct.
In php time zone setting:

/etc/php/apache2-php5.4/php.ini
...
date.timezone = Canada/Mountain

In asteriks:
cdr.conf
...
[csv]
;usegmtime=yes    ; log date/time in GMT.  Default is "no"
