# Set the default timezone of courses on this server. To get a list of valid
# timezones, run:

#     perl -MDateTime::TimeZone -e 'print join "\n", DateTime::TimeZone::all_names'
# 
# To get a list of valid timezone "links" (deprecated names), run:

#     perl -MDateTime::TimeZone -e 'print join "\n", DateTime::TimeZone::links'

# If left blank, the system timezone will be used. This is usually what you
# want. You might want to set this if your server is NOT in the same timezone as
# your school. If just a few courses are in a different timezone, set this in
# course.conf for the affected courses instead.

$siteDefaults{timezone} = "America/New_York";

If these timezones seem to be off you might want to check the system clock. My understanding (very imperfect) is that this is usually set to GMT time at least for freeBSD systems. It may be that the DateTime module assumes this and if you have set the system clock to local time you'll need to compensate in defining the time zone above. -- Mike
