Mail Clock is Incorrect... But Server Time is Correct!

[jophenna]

Hi,

This may be something simple... but I've been tearing my hair out about this.

Since I upgraded to 8.4 everything has been great - but the mail clock is out by an hour. IE when someone uses my contact form or places an order, PHP sends me an email and the time is +1Hr in the future. It is starting to look a bit unprofessional!

PHP's time is correct... and running 'date' at the command line through SSH is giving the correct time.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes such things can happen if process (such as Apache or QMail) are running with different timezone settings that other system processes. Check timezone settings in /etc/sysconfig/clock (for RH/Fedora/CentOS systems) and if they are incorrect, you may correct them using menu-based console application 'setup'.

Good luck.
