I am not sure if there is a server problem, a script problem or what. Since the clean up was done on Absolut, my calendar for my website, Plans Calendar at www.planscalendar.com (this link is just to show what calendar software I am using), stopped working properly.

I used to have the whole directory for it located in my public_html folder under a directory named "schedule. The calendar was found by typing http://mydomain.exofire.net/schedule/plans.cgi. After the clean up and maintenance on Absolut, the calendar stopped working. I got a "500-Internal Server Error" (if I remember correctly).

I changed the directory for the calendar to my public_html/cgi-bin directory and moved the theme directory to the public_html directory. Now I can get the calendar to come up and the theme works.

The problem is, whenever I add an event to the calendar, it is placed one day off from where I wanted it. (eg. I want an all day event from 9 SEP 08 to run for 6 days ending on 14 SEP 08. I input the event, preview it and the dates are correct but when I save it the dates are placed on the calendar from 8SEP 08 - 13 Sep 08. A one day event starting at 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM is added as the day before and starts at 7:59 AM to 4:59 PM). A person from the calendar's support forum suggested that it may be a time issue with the server. I'm not totally convinced that's the case but I guess anything's possible.

Is there anything in the server maintenance that may have caused this behavior? Everything was fine until I had to place the calendar's files in the cgi-bin directory.

Please forgive me if this belongs in the 3d Party Apps & Scripts forum. I placed it here since this only occurred after the maintenance on the server.

Thanks

The only thing I could think is if the script itself has a time zone setting that is wrong. The server is located in CST (-6GMT), if the time zone setting with the script makes adjustments after you submit it's possible it's changing the time.

I verified the date and time on the server and they are accurate though. The script has to be doing something with the time variable after it shows it to you.

Thanks for checking.

Yes, the software does have a time zone setting but whether I set it for GMT or CST I get the same results.

I guess it's back to the calendar's support forum to see what they have to say.

Again, thank you and I'll close this thread.
