We have a strange (minor but annoying) time problem.
Our webwork server displays the correct time when I type "date" in a shell:
Eg:
wwork@webwork:/etc> date
Tue Nov 3 14:31:52 PST 2009
wwork@webwork:/etc>
On webwork pages, the correct time is displayed. In global.conf, the time zone is set correctly:
$siteDefaults{timezone} = "America/Los_Angeles";
But, if an email gets created in webwork, the date on the email is one hour too early.
This began happening (not surprisingly) on November 1.
Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this and (more importantly) how to fix it?
thanks, Hal
While I don't have any real technical reason for this, my initial inclination is to reboot the webserver (apache, not the machine) because it's caching the time or somesuch. The more I think about this, the less sense it makes, since it'd have to be running some sort of separate time-counting process, which would be silly. Nonetheless, it's a fairly low-risk operation, and I'd be curious to see if it changes anything.
Well, I hate it when fixes work and I don't understand them. But not as much as I hate not being able to fix the problem.
Restarting apache seems to have done the trick - thank you for the suggestion, Xiong!
