Time on Straka

[tobyadams]

Analytic plugins on my site aren't working as the time on Straka has gone slow by six hours. Fix please?

Running "Date" on Starka does report the correct server time for the timezone it is located in, which would be central US.

UTC and GMT are the same right? It is currently reporting UTC as 06:40 whereas it is actually 11:40. This was correct a few days ago.

UTC and GMT are same!
Timezone difference = 0

06:40(+6hrs) is Central Time(GMT +6hrs)
Timezone difference = +6hrs

Yes, so now it is 11:53, but the server is reporting it as 6:53 which means analytics dont work as the 'timestamp is too old'

I can not change the server to operate under GMT/UTC, as that would likely break a lot of things for other users. The server time will always be showing US Central time.

Running the command "Date" in SSH returns: "Sat Apr 16 06:58:51 CDT 2011" which is correct for the timezone the server is set to use (CDT).

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but something is up as this is a new problem and I haven't changed anything my end.

This is the crux of the problem: http://twitpic.com/4lj2r1

Right, that would more then likely be due to the work that is done on the actual webservers then, they are being upgraded to new hardware and at this time I do not have access to those, but will look into that as soon as I get that.

Sorry for not making that connection earlier, should have realized that they held a part in the problems.

No worries, and no big issue really. It's only my calling card site.

Thanks for the absolutely amazing service otherwise
