    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Webmail Horde - wrong time

ChrisBar

New Pleskian
Hello,

i have a problem with webmail (horde). Horde Webmail show the wrong time, 2 hours to late. It look like that horde show the UTC time, but not the CEST "Europe/Berlin" of my server. I can change that over "preferences" -> "global preferences" -> "locale and time" and change "Your current time zone" from "Default" to "Europe/Berlin". This will now show the correct time (timezone), but this is not the solution because this will do all webmail users.

How can i change the default timezone in Horde?

Output from shell

#my timezone and this will show in all things but not in webmail horde
[root@www /]# date
Fr 11. Jul 17:32:14 CEST 2014

#this time look like the default time in horde
[root@www /]# date -u
Fr 11. Jul 15:33:31 UTC 2014
 
Yeah same problem here with British Summer Time (BST).
Horde thinks it's still GMT so reminders are sent at the wrong time.

Plesk 12.0.18 #7
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

I'll continue to search for a solution.

Regards

Lloyd
 
I can only find this -

http://osdir.com/ml/horde/2014-03/msg00053.html

But it's bloody ridiculous for a calendar system to not "know" about "British Summer Time".

In Horde Admin I see "Timezone Lookup Settings" with ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzdata-latest.tar.gz as the entry.
It does say that...
Horde may lookup timezone information from a global timezone database, also known as Olson database. You can enter any http://, ftp:// or file:// location here.

I'm not sure if this is the setting we need or what to change it to, maybe someone else will know?

Regards

Lloyd

It's not just Kronolith either it's the whole of Horde.
Here's a couple of snippets from an email header (the same email)

Mail Server/Server Time Stamp
by mail.domain.tld (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 00000000 for <[email protected]>; Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:41:21 +0100 (BST)

Horde Time Stamp
by webmail.domain.tld (Horde Framework) with HTTP; Fri,11 Jul 2014 13:41:20 +0000

So as you see the server time is correct but Horde is not.
 
Since the date on the above email I have removed Horde, dropped the database and reinstalled it due to problems with ActiveSync. Now reminders are being sent at the right time.

Not much help really, sorry.
 
@ChrisBar Set your current timezone in

Horde -> Global Preferences -> Locale & Time

to "Default".

And set the timezone in calendar events to "default" and that should use the correct server time stamps.
That is working for me anyway.
Hope it helps you
Kind regards

Lloyd
